Is there an explanation (or solution!) for this that I'm missing? The NFS fileserver is 2.2.2-RELEASE A webserver that wrote the file is 2.2.2-RELEASE I'm looking at the file on 2.1.5-stable The file is only written to on the webserver machine. On the fileserver: # ls -al users-db.pluto -rw------- 1 2081 499 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto On the webserver: %ls -al users-db.pluto -rw------- 1 ldl webno 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto On the 2.1.5-stable machine: shell# ls -al users-db.pluto -rw------- 1 ldl webno 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto A wc proves interesting: On both the fileserver and the 2.2.2-stable webserver: # wc users-db.pluto 12 1604 15366 users-db.pluto On the 2.1.5-stable client machine: shell# wc users-db.pluto 9 1323 15366 users-db.pluto The file users-db.pluto was created by 'cp users-db users-db.pluto' on the webserver client machine. I'm quite baffled. Anyone have a suggestion? -Dave -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
