Operations as root over NFS are not honored unless you use the 'root=' share option on the server. This is like the 'root squash' idea in Linux. If you were to open up perms on /files/files to 777, the client should be able to create a file, and it will be owned by 'nobody', the anonymous user. Other users known to both machines will do better. If you really need root access, you can specify which machines you trust to do that with the 'root=' share option. Rob T
