Home directories on NIS clients show "NOBODY" for group and owner

Question

Hi,
I recently changed 10 clients from an old NIS server (running Solaris 7!) to a new one (running Solaris 10).
All my clients log on through NIS and mount their home directories OK, but when you do a ls -l it shows all files as having the owner and group as "nobody".
I am guessing this has to do with the NIS maps, or auto_home or something, but I keep going around in circles.
FROM CLIENT:
$ ls -l
total 14
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 4 Sep 11 14:46 Desktop/
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 2 Sep 11 14:46 Documents/
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 136 Sep 11 13:07 local.cshrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 157 Sep 11 13:07 local.login
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 174 Sep 11 13:07 local.profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 33 Sep 11 14:51 test
FROM SERVER
nisserver # ypcat auto.home
nisserver # ypcat auto.master
auto.home -nobrowse
-hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
nisserver # ypcat -x
Use "passwd" for map "passwd.byname"
Use "group" for map "group.byname"
Use "project" for map "project.byname"
Use "networks" for map "networks.byaddr"
Use "hosts" for map "hosts.byname"
Use "ipnodes" for map "ipnodes.byname"
Use "protocols" for map "protocols.bynumber"
Use "services" for map "services.byname"
Use "aliases" for map "mail.aliases"
Use "ethers" for map "ethers.byname"

Answer 1

Darren,
Yes. The clients are Solaris 10 as well. And the domain is the same on both server and clients.
The files should be owned by real users.
If a user ssh's into the server directly, the permissions display properly. But on the clients it is nobody. Other than the permission displaying wrong, I haven't noticed any permission-related restrictions on the clients.
