Title:
  chgrp fails on NFS

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nfs-kernel-server

  When using Lucid as the NFS server, changing group ownership of a
  file/directory fails for the user even if he/she is member of the
  target group. I have tested this with Lucid and Maverick servers with
  nfs-kernel-server installed, and it works correctly on Maverick, but
  not on Lucid. I have tested with clients on RedHat, Ubuntu (Lucid and
  Maverick) and Solaris 10, and the problem is isolated to Lucid. I have
  tried to upgrade to 10.04.2, but the problem persists.

  Please see below for testing output
