So that leaves me with: /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,fsid=0) (Without the fsid, I can't connect the client). But whichever options I do or don't use, I'm still finding that the UID and GID of all files and dirs shown by ls -n in the user's home directory once connected are 0 and 1 respectively, whereas on the server they are 500 and 500. The upshot is that the user on the remote machine only has read access to most of the home directory. Why would the UID and GID be different on the NFS and client machines?
