At work once someone dockerized a service that needed read access to NFS. The default for a docker image is to run as root, which would mean it was effectively "nobody" when reading over NFS.

For the typical case of world-readable files this was fine. Occasionally someone would feed it a file that was not group-readable but not world-readable and it would error (when it would have worked before).

I suggested printing the error message: "nobody can't read this file" but we solved it in a different way.
