That is part of what I am trying to discover by asking him for the 
output I wrote and more about the authentication/authorization situation 
on the network. There are a large number of reasons permissions can get 
kajiggered over the network with NFSv4 or AFS, and in an office 
environment doubly so because of the prevalence of LDAP, NIS and 
Kerberos deployments, along with SELinux fun tossed in.
