Can someone kindly explain what is going on here: Machine A: FreeBSD - was running 8, just upgraded to 9.1-PRE (I don't recall seeing the behavior described below in V8, but then, I don't think I ever tried it). Machine B: Linux Mint Desktop - Machine A acts as an NFS server for Machine B. - Machine A exports a particular directory like this: /usr/foo -maproot=myid -network ... - /usr/foo/bar is owned by root on Machine A and has files therein owned as root:root with permissions of 600. - If I access /usr/foo/bar/file1 from Machine B, I cannot read it but - and this is the part I don't get - I CAN *rename* it. What's going on? Since /foo/bar/ is owned by root and everything in it is 600 root:root, I would not expect a remote access to allow things like renaming. Clearly I am missing something here, but I don't get it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
