My NFS server works fine but not as a user other than root and I have not been able to change that. I suspect this is not an uncommon problem and hope that someone can tell me how to fix it?
Are you saying that on a _client_ machine, users who are not root cannot browse the mounted NFS tree?
If so, the first thing to come to mind is that traditionally, the underlying mount directory permissions govern access to the top of the mount. So:
- umount the NFS share
- look at the perms on the mount point; are they root only?
- try: chmod 755 /the/mount/point
- remount the NFS share and retest
That isn't quite what he'd want.
Do we know what Bob wants? It sounds like his clients can't access the
mounted FS even though the perms with it are likely the same.
The above procedure is to _test_ if the perms on theunderlying mount are
causing his nonroot users this trouble.
Awaiting further details from Bob, myself.
Example below. Note that this is a home system and I keep the UID and GID
of all users the same on multiple system.
Example: (The NFS client is meimei and I start with no file system mounted)
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ whoami
egreshko
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -ld /mnt
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jul 25 08:35 /mnt
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ touch /mnt/x
touch: cannot touch '/mnt/x': Permission denied
Aye, but I have the impression that his failure happen post mount, not
before the mount.
