In my first message I said that the uid/uid were the same so this all did not apply, but it was the last throw away line that nudged me..... > I would suggest not exporting /frodo to the world. I changed the /etc/exports file from; /frodo (rw,no_root_squash) to; /frodo aragorn(rw,no_root_squash) gimli(rw,no_root_squash) and it worked perfectly So, nw I have to ask why?
