Things are OK. But when I try to set chown -R nobody trash under /junk, I get: chown: trash: Invalid argument I didnt have this problem with FreeBSD2.2.5, its only after I did a fresh install of 3.2, that I got this message. The same /junk is exported to a few other FreeBSD3.2 boxes, and there is no error generated and the chown command works just fine. All of these machines are NIS clients, and if I issue chown -R valid_nis_login trash things are chownd to that valid_nis_login. Any pointers how I go about solving this? Any other info I should provide? Mohsin AbdulRahman MTech@BuffNET.Net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
