If you enabled local config, strategic mount points for the configuration files should have been added to /etc/exports to allow the client to edit the necessary files. Can you check this file to see if there are rw mount points for the config files? The rest of / should still be ro. $$CLIENT$$ files are generic to all clients. Specific client files will have the client IP. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft
