[sclug] nfsv4 server/client - how to propagate UID/GIDs?

[John Stumbles]

Trying to connect one of my PCs to my new fileserver using NFSv4 (coz 
it's newer so it must be better :-)). I've exported and mounted the 
filesystem happily enough, except that the permissions on the mounted 
filesystem are all nobody:nogroup rather than the correct users:groups 
that are on the filesystem on the server. Presumably one should actually 
be able to propagate UID/GIDs across export/mounts? (Debian Lenny on the 
Server, Etch on the client).

server: /etc/exports
/srv/nfs4        \
192.168.1.0/24(ro,sync,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0)
/srv/nfs4/home   \
192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,sync,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check)

server# exportfs -rv
exporting 192.168.1.0/24:/srv/nfs4/home
exporting 192.168.1.0/24:/srv/nfs4

server# lsl /srv/nfs4/home/
