Hi,
on our NIS Server we have configured a lot of netgroups.
All our Linux machines are in the group "linux-hosts". Some Linux hosts
are used by us, why they are in the group "staff-hosts"
On an nfs server, we allow read only access for all linux-hosts and
read-write access for root to all staff-hosts.
The staff-hosts can mount the directory from the nfs server read-write
(according to the output of the command 'mount'), but trying to create a
file as root results in a message like "filesystem is read only". We
have of course set the parameter "no_root_squash" on the nfs server.
The affected directory has recently moved from a solaris 8 machine to a
redhat enterprise 3.x server. We haven't had this problem with the
solaris machine.
Do you know, where to search for a solution?
thanks
Boris
