Remember that over nfs, the client's access to the server will be as user nobody or nfsnobody, depending on your system, so that user will have to have access to all those directories/files, unless of course you use the anonuid/anongid directives in your exports file.

I guess the trouble comes from my NFS share, since users home directories are stored on another server. If I change the homedirectory to a local directory, it works fine. If I use a context to the NFS share, it works too. eg, in my server.xml: <Context path="/~paul" docBase="/NFS/homes/paul/public_html/" crossContext="true" debug="1" reloadable="true" /> But this doesn't work: <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig" directoryName="public_html" homeBase="/NFS/homes/" userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.HomesUserDatabase"/> I'm using Apache 2.2.9 (from debian lenny), Tomcat 6.0.18 mod_jk 1.2.27 Users are refered in an LDAP directory (but of course, they are recognized by the box and Apache mod_userdir since http://server/~paul will display the right index.html) Is it a bug? Thanks for your help or any information.
