Hello,


I have a Server with User >test< and a Client with user >test<.

On the Server /etc/exports

Code:
 /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/home/ 192.xxx.x.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)


on Client:

/etc/fstab

Code:
192.xxx.x.2:/home/test    /home/test    nfs    defaults,rw     0 0


But the User test on the Client Machine has only ro privileges.

ls -ld shows this:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 messagebus 245     4096

Tinitus,

The two users need to have identical userIDs on both systems as its the userIDs that are used for controlling access, not user names.
You can look in /etc/password to check

No other way? This works. But I have not on all Machine admin rights.

Tinitus,

I think you can force a userID and GroupID at mount but then the mount only works for a single user as the mount point is mapped to that user.
I think this is done in the /etc/exports on the machine exporting the share.

e.g. if you nfs mount /home that way, it works only for the user its mapped as, not all /home/<users>

For a single user, you can also use sshfs but this requires ssh access on the host sharing the filesystem.
Its slower then nfs and more secure.
