Re: root can't write to NFS mounted directory

What setting on the client allows root to write to NFS mounted directories? This behaviour is expected if you haven't set maproot on the server. By default the server will map the root user on the client to nobody on the server. On the server set --maproot=root to give root on the client access as root on the server. - I know you write that it worked and you haven't changed anything on the server, but check it anyway. Anyway, it is not recommended to use --maproot, in particular not for write mounted shares as there is no authentication.

I don't think there is one, but I could be wrong. There is a setting which enables/disables global write access to the partition. Use "mount -o rw -u /mountpoint" to remount it as read-write, if it's read-only now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
root can't write to NFS mounted directory
I have some home directories that is mounted over NFS. The users who log in via NIS can write to their respective home directories, but root on the NFS client can't. The NFS directories are exported via a NAS. I know it is not a configuration issue on the NFS server, as it previously worked fine, and the only change I have made recently is to wipe and install the client. What setting on the client allows root to write to NFS mounted directories? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
