I expect that this is the source of my woe -- I don't fully understand the syntax for these options. /etc/fstab on scooter has this line in it: grover:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs rw 0 2 My single aim is to mount grover:/usr/ports at scooter:/usr/ports so that I can install some ports onto scooter. Sometimes, though, I need write access in grover:/usr/ports from scooter -- and that's where I'm stumped. It NFS mounts just fine, and mount -p shows: grover:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs rw 0 2 So it's mounting R/W. And it sure does read fine. But even when I login as root on scooter, I cannot get write permission across the NFS mount. I have RTFMd exports, fstab, mount_nfs, nfsd, nfsiod, and even RFC 1094. Could someone *please* put me out of my misery? -- Paul Hoadley / mailto:paul.hoadley@student.adelaide.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
