Hello,

Didn't know about /var/lib/nfs/xtab, so it isn't what I expected.  Only 
familliar with fstab.  This xtab must have been automatically generated by 
something.

$ cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab
/home/kmcgladr/images   
mabeline.localdomain(ro,async,wdelay,hide,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)
/home/kmcgladr/images   
mabeline.localdomain(ro,async,wdelay,hide,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)

- I don't know how to check the suid bit.  I do know how to set it, but not 
how to test for it.

from the server:
$ id jennifer
uid=502(jennifer) gid=502(jennifer) 
groups=502(jennifer),100(users),501(kmcgladr)

from the client
$ id jennifer
uid=502(jennifer) gid=502(jennifer) 
groups=502(jennifer),100(users),501(kmcgladr)

- No, I'm not running quotas (to the best of my knowledge).

- Using diskdrake....
/home is ext3
/home/kmcgladr/images is listed as "linux native".  Would that be ext2?

I initially tried setting this up using the right-click "Share" menu item (in 
Konqueror).  Only after that did not work did I attempt to configure NFS, 
based on the NFS-howto at the Linux Documentation Project.  The manuals that 
shipped with the Power Pack didn't go into anywhere near this much detail.

Is the source of my problems that the images volume is using another 
filesystem?  And does that "share" menu item work for other end users?

As for Samba, I'm already running it so VMWare has access to the host 
filesystem.  I'm trying to not run it on my real network card in order to 
prevent any configuration conflicts.

Thanks,


Kayne
