Hmm, it works for me, using an exports of /usr/src -mapall=guenther 127.0.0.1 /usr/obj -mapall=guenther 127.0.0.1 and switching the -mapall on /usr/src from "guenther" to "otheruser", pkill -HUP mountd, then testing by creating a file in a mode 777 directory on the NFS mount from 127.0.0.1. Various other switches and tests show that it doesn't seem to be related to the sorting of the directory names. So: need more data. Run mountd yourself with the -d option and snag the *complete* output from start, making changes to /etc/exports and HUP'ing it, etc. Philip Guenther
