On the 4.0 machine, I am unable to append to a world writable file (622, for example) that resides on the 3.2 machine. This did not happen with 3.3. Using cat >>/nfspath/file results in "cat: stdout: Permission denied" as soon as the first line of text tries to get appended. I double-checked the mount point permissions on the 4.0 box and they are the same as on a 3.3 box that does the above with no problem. The mount point is set to 755. Am I missing something very obvious, or have things changed a bit in this situation with 4.0? -- Scott M.
