You have 3 choices with VM NFS: - include your VM credentials on the mount request (not recommended since they will show up on showmount requests) - PCNFS login as is done by many Windows clients - Using the mountpw command (downloaded and built on your system). mvslogin can, I think, be used instead, if you wish. PCNFS is really the best way to do it, if there's a PCNFS client available for Linux. Remember, too, that the VM NFS server doesn't give a rat's behind about your Linux UID/GID. It will use the VM UID/GID associated with your VM user ID.
