I am evaluating a shareware NFS client for PC (it's called XFS), using FreeBSD as a server, and have come across a problem: if the client authenticates as root (UID 0), then it can mount the filesystem exported by the server, otherwise the mount fails. This behaviour is different from what I experience using Linux as a server. I have temporarily overcome the problem by modifying pcnfsd and returning a fake uid (0) once the client has authenticated properly; but this is not completely satisfactorily. If that matters, requests coming from the client use pcnfsd v.1 protocol. Any explainations, and possible fixes (I think the problem has to do with mountd).
