Hello NFS people!
About a month ago I posted the following article:
> I have a TCP/IP network with NFS on top of it. Some of the
> nodes run Interactive 386/ix 2.0.1 (I think) who acts rather strangely
> when I try to set file attributes. If some attributes are unspecified
> (e.g uid, gid or mode) they get changed anyway to -1. I know this is

I didn't get any answer and I saw no followups either. The fact is: I'm not
the only one having this problem, there is at least one other site in
Sweden having the same difficulties (but in their case with 386/ix 2.2).
I plea, don't pass by this article if you got any ideas of what I can do.
Thanks in advance,
Niklas
