On NT, it is possible to get ownership information for files on NTFS partitions, using the Win32 security calls (specifically GetFileSecurity). I would guess that a good NFS client for NT could support these calls on NFS-mounted partitions as well, but I don't know if that's actually possible or if any do. However Win95 doesn't implement any of these security calls, so as far as I know an NFS client would have to use a proprietary interface, if it provided one at all, to get ownership information.
