Hi,
I have a server (192.168.1.1) and worker (192.168.1.2) stations and want to
share /home which is belong to the server. This is the content of my
/etc/exports:
/home 192.168.1.2(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
Before sharing, the list of users on both stations are:
server: root, mahmood, user1, user2
worker: root, mahmood, user3, user4
As you can see two users are common. Then I opened /etc/fstab on worker and
commnet the original /home line and added this line:
server:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0
Then I ran "sudo exportfs -a" on server and "sudo mount -a" on the worker.
Please look at the output of "ls -l" command on both server and worker:
mahmood@server:home$ ls -l
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 28 user1 users 4096 2011-01-08 21:49 user1
drwxr-xr-x 4 user2 users 4096 2011-01-08 21:55 user2
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2010-10-24 17:23 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 26 mahmood mahmood 4096 2011-01-09 10:49 mahmood
mahmood@worker:home$ ls -l
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 4 user3 users 4096 2011-01-08 21:55 user1
drwxr-xr-x 9 user4 users 4096 2011-01-08 23:05 user2
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2010-10-24 17:23 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 26 mahmood mahmood 4096 2011-01-09 10:49 mahmood
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 4096 2011-01-05 21:27 shared
As you can see, the permission of user1 and user2 home direcoties are granted to
user3 and user4. But since "mahmood" and "root" have separate account on both
stations, there is no problem with their access.
The effect of this anomaly is that when user1 want to ssh from server to wroker,
he can not write anything in his home direcotry:
user1@server:~$ mkdir a
user1@server:~$ ssh worker
enter password....
user1@worker:~$ mkdir b
mkdir: cannot create directory `b': Permission denied
user1@worker:~$
How can I fix that?
Thanks,
// Naderan *Mahmood;
