I've got an NFS exported filesystems on a linux box. Other linux boxes and other ho boxes can mount and use the filesystem as expected. My bsdi box can mount the filesystems just fine, but when I try to access files within the filesystems (or actually write files) I get permissions denied. Now, I'm using the same password entry and in fact the same uid It is mounted thusly: peach:/usr/local/src on /usr/local/src Now for a show of problem: friday:/usr/local/src $ whoami # am i who I think? sshapiro # yup friday:/usr/local/src $ rm /tmp/x # clear the area to make sure friday:/usr/local/src $ touch /tmp/x # make a file to see if it # makes with me as owner friday:/usr/local/src $ ls -l /tmp/x # yup - it does -rw-r--r-- 1 sshapiro wheel 0 Apr 10 04:05 /tmp/x friday:/usr/local/src $ ls -ld . # make sure I have write # permissions here drwxr-xr-x 27 sshapiro wheel 1024 Apr 10 14:44 . friday:/usr/local/src $ touch x # should be able to make # a file touch: x: Permission denied # but I can't Anybody have any bright ideas about what I've messed up? Thanks / Sid /
