It is that I sayd. For first, mount command is available also at user level. The NFS, as CIFS on microsoft is accessible aslo at user level. Otherwise must be everyone root to access, for examples, to home on network server? The user level is threated everytime numerically. When you use ls -la and see a user insted of a number is only because ls make a conversion, but on ACL we ave numbers. So, when you mount a NFS export into a linux machine and use ls -la you are on a client, so ls convert numbers using local passwd and groups. > Also, local root is normally mapped to user nobody on the remote > system unless the no_root_squash option in used. "man exports" for > more information. True... normally root is squashed to very very non-priviledged user. And maybe that on remote filesystem this special user are authorized to make NOTHING. So the result is access denied or something else. Bye Ambrogio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
