Hi, looks like you're running afpd as root (which I assume is the only current option) and that your root-id process is smashed onto the exporting box to "nobody". What you need to add as an option to your export is "root=lx0" (or equivalent for your flavor of unix). Be aware that this way your system's security is getting worse as anyone root on lx1 is also root in a short time on lx0 without much of an effort. Hope this helps Thierry Michalowski Peter Gutowski wrote: > I'm admittedly a NFS newbie, have managed to make it work for the first time in a >Long Time yesterday.
