Anyway, if I'm a user I can go into my home directory and make changes. However, AS ROOT I keep getting "Permission Denied"! A check on permissions reports nothing out of the ordinary. /home is owned by root.wheel However, as root I CANNOT create a directory under /home ! :( This symptom only happens due to /home being NFS-mounted (as client). The NFS server is a linux box, the client (the one reporting premission denied) is a freebsd box. The mount was performed with rw of course, and as I said, if I su to any user, go to his home directory and touch anything it works fine. It's just root! who can't do anything... Any ideas??? TIA, Ricardo
