(If you're using rpc.svcgssd. ...) I am using rpc.svcgssd, but even if I add the following to idmapd.conf on both the server and the client (although I think it's only necessary on the server): [Static] root/<hostname>@<realm> = root ... I still get the same result when I try to write to one of the exports as root: Permission denied. > ( ... If you're using gss-proxy I think there's similar > configuration in /etc/krb5.conf.) That would be the "auth_to_local" tag in the [Realms] section. The gss- proxy project seems to be a RedHat effort to replace rpc.svcgssd. Perhaps not such a bad idea. However, I'm using Debian.
