[NTLUG:Discuss] NFS no_root_squash option

[George E. Lass]

After upgrading to RedHat 5.2 (please, no rude comments,
I have some vendor software that will only run on that
version), I am having problems with NFS access as user root.

My /etc/exports file is:

/xl     (rw,no_root_squash,insecure)

But when I write /xl/temp/xxx remotly as root I get:

-rw-r--r--   1 65534    65534           4 Jul 19 14:05 xxx

It looks like the root user ID has been "squashed" even though
/etc/exports specifies no_root_squash.

The real problem is that I have to set all of my directories under /xl
to -rwxrwxrwx in order to be able to create files remotely...

Any ideas?

George
