I've set the permissions as (rw) in the exports file. Is that enough.
In a larger network, is using root squash or all squash options

Yes, I did setup the maps on the clients side using the following steps,

very unusally, when I checked the ID of rajeev, it gave (sind), who is a
user on the client machine. However, when I logged in as rajeev, it produced
the bash# prompt. I was able to write in to /u/rajeev (after shifting to it)
succesfully, with the only problem being that the same
error(fh_verify...) was displayed on the server.
Curiously, when I setup another user in the server, and did a ypinit -m,
that user was able to log in to the bash# prompt, but was able to use his
directory (/u/manesh) fine, without a problem at all.
Once I changed the directory from /u to /home, and added this to fstab, the
system apparently worked the user mentioned above. The other user, rajeev,
is still confused on his IDentity crisis :).
