Hey thanks... Let me explain the scenario a bit better.
NFS Server is a Slackware 10.1 box.
NFS Client (and qmail/vpopmail server) is a FreeBSD 5.4 box.
My server side client export file looks like this.
/mnt/hd/mail_store/test minoru(no_root_squash,rw,sync)
I believe the 'no_root_squash' flag is the equiv of the -maproot=0 for
BSD/other OS's.
I'm not having any issue at all creating files, chowning, or chmoding.
It seems that it's a simple locking problem. [lockd] seems to be
running on the NFS host, however I'm wondering if it's the difference in
NFS standards. I've compiled vpopmail with the --disable-file-locking
configure flag, and then everything seems to work fine, however it's not
very multi-user-safe.
Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're using CDB files for auth; that means the DB files are
all on NFS. If you don't have your root mapped properly, you won't be able
to create files. Try using -maproot=0 (freebsd, others may be similar) in
your exports on the NFS server, and re-mount the NFS mountpoint; see if that
helps.

Subject: [vchkpw] vpopmail via NFS
Has anyone tried to hold the vpopmail home as a NFS mount?
I've gotten the mount setup properly, and the permissions are fine,
however when adding a domain or a user I recieve the following error.
minoru# ./bin/vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
enter password again:
Failed while attempting to add user to auth backend
Error: no auth connection
If copy out all the files in the ~vpopmail mount, unmount, and copy the
files into the now-local ~/vpopmail I do not have this problem.
Has anyone done this, or know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.
