In particular: A client exports a file system and a server mounts it; A process on the server can't read a file even though it is world readable. , For example, for NFS server "prudence" and NFS client "molly", with molly a SONY News system and prudence 386bsd, I get this behavior: > molly% ls -lt letter.ms > -rw-rw-r-- 1 dufault 199 May 25 1990 letter.ms > molly% cat letter.ms > cat: read error: Permission denied > molly% Since letter.ms is world readable I expect anyone on molly to be able to read it, but they can't. I've verified that the same problem exists at another site running 386BSD with the new patch kit. I looked at the patches and didn't see anthing that would have caused this. This broke a bunch of scripts at my site. Why hasn't anyone else complained? Peter Dufault HD Associates
