[root@localhost nfsshare]# ls -ldn /home/coolboarderguy/nfsshare
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 Aug 16 15:03 /home/coolboarderguy/nfsshare
So this directory is owned by root and nobody else has write
permission on it.
yes, so, I thought I'd change it to my regular user, but, as soon as you
mount the remote dir to it, the ownership goes back to root:root
[root@localhost nfsshare]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
Please run "id" as your regular user account that you want to use this
share as.
[coolboarderguy@localhost ~]$ id
uid=500(coolboarderguy) gid=500(coolboarderguy) groups=500(coolboarderguy)
What's the entry in /etc/exports for this share on 192.168.168.10?
/home/batmanbegins/nfsshare 192.168.168.12(rw, sync)
By default, root access to NFS shares isn't allowed (see the
root_squash option in "man exports").
yes, that's a last option, though.
Ideally the directory "/home/batmanbegins/nfsshare" on 192.168.168.10
should be owned by your user, or a group you are in, and have the
appropriate write permission.
so, I have to add a user(for example, coolboarderguy), from the client
machine, into a group on the server, or make it the owner of that
dir/file on the server machine.? I thought giving the
host(192.168.168.12) rw options in the exports file allows that host to
write to the dir, no..?

cheers.
