Yes, the only uid with username 'nobody' is 60001.

This appears to be an NFS server bug in Solaris:

NFS:  ----- Sun NFS -----
NFS:  
NFS:  Proc = 1 (Get file attributes)
NFS:  Status = 0 (OK)
NFS:    File type = 1 (Regular File)
NFS:    Mode = 0644
NFS:     Setuid = 0, Setgid = 0, Sticky = 0
NFS:     Owner's permissions = rw-
NFS:     Group's permissions = r--
NFS:     Other's permissions = r--
NFS:    Link count = 1, User ID = 4294967294, Group ID = 103
NFS:    File size = 0, Used = 0
NFS:    Special: Major = 0, Minor = 0
NFS:    File system id = 17301504, File id = 13553
NFS:    Last access time      = 14-Aug-02 09:58:02.000000000 GMT
NFS:    Modification time     = 14-Aug-02 09:58:02.000000000 GMT
NFS:    Attribute change time = 14-Aug-02 09:58:20.083654000 GMT

I will close this PR.
