Description

With a newly created file system I'm seeing the following errors on my clients.

When I attempt as a user to use the file system I'm denied and with ls I see

ls -al
ls: cannot access tick: Permission denied

As you can see tick is my mount point and it hosed. I don't see any errors on the server side. Only the client side.

James, Are you sure you have matching UIDs on SLES clients & RHEL servers? Default UID ranges for ordinary users aren't the same in these two distros. Without taking care to make them match horrible access problems can happen. I've been bitten that way frequently.

[James A Simmons]

we use ldap eveywhere? Also the results are not consistent. Sometimes I can read a directory then other times I can.

[James A Simmons]

I found it was our ldap server is currently not working on my MDS. Sorry for the noise but you can close the ticket.

Thanks James.

One small comment. Perhaps we can write this up some where so when people see this error they know what the source of the problem is.

[Peter Jones]

Where do you think would be suitable James? Is this something to include in the manual?
