Hi,
I've got what should be a simple problems.  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
