Sorry if this is a repost, I had some problems with my mail account yesterday and did not see my mail on the list, so here it comes again. Hi, I apologize if this is a bit offtopic as it is not entirely FreeBSD-specific, but I did not know where to post otherwise. If anybody knows a list more suitable for this question, please tell me. The scenario: I am running a FreeBSD 5.0 p7 release box with a more or less GENERIC kernel (took out scsi and ipv6) During booting, the system mounts three nfs partitions from the my local fileserver (which happens to be a debian 3.0 box, 2.4.18 kernel). The corresponding fstab entries are: gate.lindenstrasse:/home/silk/lan /home/silk/lan nfs rw,-r=1024 0 0 gate.lindenstrasse:/var/www/public /home/silk/www nfs rw,-r=1024 0 0 gate.lindenstrasse:/samba/public /home/silk/public nfs rw,-r=1024 0 0 Since I am not running nis, I synchronized the uid's for my working account on both machines manually and changed ownership to the directories in question accordingly. So far, so good, no problem. Now I checked out a working copy of a cvs project on my FreeBSD box in /home/silk/lan (on of the nfs partitions mounted during bootup) The checkout works (I get the complete cvs tree of the project in question), but I get the following error a couple of time: cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open herbivore/CVS: Permission denied I double-checked the permissions on herbivore/CVS, and I should be able to do whatever I want. Performing the checkout under /home/silk works without the error, so my guess is that this is a nfs related thing, but since I am able to read, write and execute normally on the partition in question apart from cvs, I am a bit confused here. If more information is needed I will be happy to provide it. TIA Matt
