That's been set right from the start... didn't appear to make a whit of difference. But finally something is working. egrep '^[^#]+VERSMAX' /etc/default/nfs NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3 And root can mount the share. Somewhere in all the reboots and huffing and puffing it sort or started working. Root can mount the share and user reader can read/write to it. But user reader, even with matching uid now, cannot mount the share. mount -F nfs reader:/pub /pub nfs mount: insufficient privileges User reader owns /pub on both ends. I think I'll be happy enough to let root do the mounting.
