Hi! I've been running a NFS server under Gentoo without problems. Now I'm trying to access the NFS server from a new apple laptop with mac os installed. I have no problems in reading from the exports, but it seems I cannot write on some of them. Strangely I can write on some exports and I cannot do it on some others. On some exports I get an error message stating that I don't have sufficient privileges to write. I checked the options in /etc/exports and they are the same for all the exports (async, no_subtree_check, rw, insecure). I tried to check the privileges of the files I'm trying to write to and I see they are the same for files I can write to and for those I cannot. I also tried to give them all the privileges for every users, just to try, and nothing changes. Any idea why it is possible to write in some exports and not to others?
Thank you very much guys!

You might want to try adding the 'no_root_squash' to your options in /etc/exports as without it root is effectively a nobody-user level and can't write.

I added that option to one of the exports but it seems the problems remains. The export which works strangely doesn't have that option. Is there any way to understand what's wrong?
Thanks.

I'm looking in /var/log/messages but I see no messages coming from nfs except these:

Code:
Aug 12 12:47:07 cluca nfsd: last server has exited
Aug 12 12:47:07 cluca nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
Aug 12 12:47:07 cluca RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
Aug 12 12:47:07 cluca mountd[910]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting.
Aug 12 12:47:08 cluca rpc.statd[877]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting.
Aug 12 12:47:08 cluca rpc.statd[20922]: Version 1.0.11 Starting


and I see that error coming from portmap. Is there any other log file? I couldn't find anything else.
Thanks.
