------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief synopsis of the problem:
chgrp doesn't work on some of the NFS servers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please describe the problem in detail (mention any necessary files or
commands that may be involved, on which machine the bug happened, and what
the program did that was wrong):
On some NFS servers (including hera; not including aphrodite), chgrp <file>
gives the message
chgrp: <file>: Not owner
even when the user does own <file>.
I discussed this with a consultant whose name I don't know (1st name
John); he said that it was a problem with his server too and suggested
a bug report.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat by (please enter a set of commands which will allow us to
repeat the bug):
attach jkeller
cd /mit/jkeller/Foo
touch foobar
chgrp $user foobar
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix (if you know what it is):
Give other servers the same version of the code as aphrodite has?
