Hello All,
I've some problem with the NFS.
I think I have well (?) configured the EXPORTS file
example :
/tmp1 remote(rw)

to allow NFS mounting of /tmp1 on the "remote" remote station with
Read/Write permission.

When I do the mounting the system tell me it mount the /tmp1
as read/write filesystem but when I attempt to write to it a
Permission Denied Message appair and obviusly the writing abort.

I'm dealing with the old 1.2.13 version of the kernel , I've
done all as ROOT of both systems ,... not enought experience ?

May someone help me ?

Thanks a lot !

Roberto.

As you can mount the filesystems, I assume you have restarted
nfsd/mountd on the server machine to get /etc/exports re-read. However,
you should note that the nfsd by default maps accesses by user root
from the client to user nobody on the server machine (security reasons).
If you ***really*** want it, you can use
/tmp1 remote(rw,no_root_squash)
which will disable the mapping (at least this is true for more recent
versions of nfsd, I don't know about earlier ones).

Hope that helps,
Detlef
