Subject: NFS server


Hi,
In an NFS server, does it know the user that makes the request?
Ex:
- user1 access /mnt/remote/file1 (mounted on NFS)
- The kernel asks the NFS server for this file
- The NFS server get a request for the file1
Does the server know (or is it able to know) which user (user1 in the =
case) tried to access the file?

The goal would be to give user/group ownership dependent on the user =
accessing it.
Ex:=20
- user1 access /mnt/Remote/file1 and got perms: user1,rx / guser1,rx
- user2 access /mnt/Remote/file1 and got perms: user2,rwx / guser2,---
This based on real ACLs of the file on the server (mainly SMB ACLs).

Thanks.
