Public bug reported:
Hi,
i stumbled upon a weird oddity with evince...
# Steps creating the problem
1. I downloaded a pdf document from the internet using firefox.
2. Firefox offered to open the pdf in a document reader
3. Evince opened and displayed the pdf (correctly)
4. I used the hamburger menu and choose "Speichern unter" ("save as")
5. Filedialog opened. I navigated to an nfs mounted directory.
6. I ordered "Ordner anlegen" ("create folder") via the + symbol
7. I am prompted for the name of the new folder
8. It sais: "Der Ordner kann nicht angelegt werden -- Fehler beim ERstellen des
Ordners <...> Keine Berechtigung" ("The folder cannot be created - Error
creating the folder -- Not Authorized"
9. If I go to the terminal and mkdir the folder is created all right. (I
expected that the directory would be created -- if chmod is set correctly and
the shell can do it evince should also be able to do it...)
# More info
My `/etc/fstab` reads as follows:
```
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
192.168.178.52:/home /nfs nfs noauto,user,exec 0 0
<...>
```
192.168.178.52 (nathan) uses the kernel-nfs-server and the following
`/etc/exports`-file:
```
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
/home/ *(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash)
<...>
```
Which is surely not too strict but rather to permissive... :o/
