The Home dirs are mounted using autofs Problem: ========= A normal user can login to any machine on the network and everything works. However if root on ueserver creates a file in the /export/home dir the file it produces is like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 nfs other 0 Feb 7 16:03 MyCrap.txt In other words the files created by root on the NFS mount are not own by root. However normal users do not have this problem. I have come across discussions about root squash and I though the rw,root= in the dfstab would deal with that Thanks -- Gerard Hooton.
