Cygwin 3.5 mapping uid/gid on NFSv4 filesystem to unexpected IDs ...

[Roland Mainz]

Hi!

----

We've modified the NFSv4 drive for WIndows to support the Nfs3Attr API
uid/gid fields for Cygwin&SFU compatibility, and SID support (local
users mapped to their SIDs, and NFS users/groups without local
accounts are mapped to "S-1-22-1-*" (Unix_User+) and "S-1-22-2-*"
(Unix_Group+)) .

But on Cygwin 3.4.9 and Cygwin 3.5.0 something unexpected happens -
Cygwin /usr/bin/ls shows the wrong uid/uids:
For example the kernel driver fills in uid=197608/gid=197121 (matching
what $ getent passwd/group # says), but ls(1) prints
uid=4278387688/gid=4278387201
It seems Cygwin is mapping ALL NFS3Attr uid/gid values to the
Unix_User+/Unix_Group+ range. On Solaris&Linux the NFS uid/gid values
are correct, and the Windows NFSv4 driver uses the same numeric
values.

Is the Cygwin behaviour (i.e. mapping of NFS3Attr uid/gid to different
uid/gid in Cygwin $ ls -n #) intended ?
