yet using gnome file browser I can change permissions on these nfs
mounted files just fine - go figure.

This did work in the past - so what has changed?
how do I check what version of nfs is actually working?
Root squash may be enabled by default, try adding the
"no_root_squash" option to your exports file on the server
side, you may need to remount the volume on the client side
after restarting/reloading nfs on the server.

tried that and that now normal chmod as me works okay but sudo chmod still not permitted. I tried dragging a file to my desktop, opening and saving back to desktop works fine. Drag from desktop back onto folder via the file browser also works fine! So I guess nfs is okay?
BTW
chmod +w file.doc
only changes permissions for owner and group - world is left untouched, not what I remembered, I guess some man reading coming my way.

So now it seems what I have is an Openoffice problem. It writes odt files just fine via nfs but not doc files.
Must be a micro$oft conspiracy.
I'll take this off list as it does not appear to be a CentOS issue.
Thanks for the help.

if the 'mount' is done as a 'user' mount but then you switch to su with
sudo command, this would be a likely result.

Is there any way to know what level (version) of nfs is in use?
I know how to distinguish between v4 and the rest (the mount uses nfs4 rather than just nfs) but how about the lower levels?
Thanks
