[geeks] Solaris 10 puzzle

Folks, anyone have any insights on this?

Assume two Solaris 10 hosts.  Call them H1 and H2.  Both reside on the
same subnet, and in fact have almost adjacent IP addresses.

Assume two Solaris zones, one each.  Call them H1z1 and H2z1.

Assume a ZFS filesystem, H1:/foo, on H1, NFS exported via ZFS,
rw=H1z1:H2z1,root=H1z1:H2z1.

H1z1 and H2z1 mount this same share at /bar, with identical options, and
have so far as I can see identical services running.

All applicable mountpoints, on H1, H1z1, and H1z2, are owned by the same
user and group (in this case, oracle:oinstall).  The user and group
oracle and oinstall are defined and valid, and have the same numeric
uid/gid, on all three.


H1:/foo mounts on H2z1:/bar as oracle:oinstall.
H1:/foo mounts on H1z1:/bar as nobody:nobody.

....WTF?  I'm baffled.
