Hi,
I'm having a few problems with nfs and permissions. At the moment I have a server running nfsd. It shared the source code directory. The problem is editing the files on the server. For example, if a user creates a file, no one else has write permission to this file. What kind of permissions should be set on the files for this to work? Maybe setting them word writeable by group 'users' ? (dunno how to do that)

Also, I dunno if this is relevant but I had to use no_root_squash to get it to mount at boot time on the client machines.

thanks in advance,
rich

Have you read the NFS howto on www.linuxdoc.org (http://www.linuxdoc.org) ? if not do so.It would be advisable to create a group and make yourself and others a member of it...hope this helps.
