I have mountd started with the -n flag, but no host in the exports file is allowed to mount the filesystem specified without root priviliges. I have tired the following clients: FreeBSD 2.2.5 Solaris 2.6 And neither works with a non-root mount. If I su and execute the same mount command on the client it works. I checked the FAQ, gnats listing, and mailing list archives, and I didn't see anything about this. I can't believe that a bug this noticable would go unreported for this long, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something obvious. Anyone have any clues? Thanks. -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.
