I have managed to get a user's home directory exported from an NFS server, and can log that user in on the remote machine, using the exported /home/<username>. However, all the files and directories in the home directory on the client machine are shown to be owned by root/bin (uid 0 and gid 1). The 'real' files on the NFS server are definitely owned by the user, and the user & primary group id's are the same on server and client machines. The relevant entry in the server's /etc/exports is: /home-ext/<username> 192.168.0.1/24(rw,wdelay,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,anonuid=65563,anongid=65535) Anyone know what I am doing wrong, or can suggest how to troubleshoot further?
