Subject: 2.0.5 -> NFS -> Linux: some files inaccessable
Message-ID: <jshiffleDGMEJB.ME2@netcom.com>
Summary: NFS mount of 2.0.5 on linux leaves some files unaccessable
Keywords: tape linux backup nfs

When I mount 2.0.5 partitions on a Linux machine (using NFS), files
and directories owned by root are not readable. Since my DAT drive is
on the Linux computer, I need _everything_ available through NFS so I
can make tape backups. (Yes, I'm mounting and attempting to read as
root). Is there something special I need to do to get this happening?
(Other _Linux_ computers mounted via NFS don't have this limitation.)

   Many thanks for any help....
