(And if you have a really good reason to build from the ports, then dedicate one of the -current sparc64's to be the build server which exports the built .../packages to everyone else.) > I'd put it outside nfs if i don't find a solution, but btw i'm more > interested in understanding why -maproot=root doesn't work in my case Send your complete server:/etc/exports, client:/etc/fstab, verbose log of server:mountd, server:nfsd, and a full (-s 65000) tcpdump of the communication.
