Subject: NFS weirdness with SGI

I have some weirdness occurring with a couple of SGI workstations. The
server is FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE running as an NFS server.

My /etc/exports file consists of one line:
/data/public -mapall=nobody:nobody
(machine is behind a firewall, so anyone who can connect is trusted)

However, when a user logs in as root to the SGI station, he can
read/write all over the FreeBSD server with no problems, all files are
created as root:wheel (why group wheel?)
But if a normal user logs in to the SGI station, he can read but not
write the NFS export on FreeBSD. It seems like a permissions problem to
me.
Why is the -mapall directive apparently not working? Any thoughts?

-Bill
