and don't forget user id mapping may confilct, too. if you try to access a nfs-mounted device, you may read/write with client's permissions, but that do not neccesarely be the same than on nfs-server. you will have to take shure about same uid on both machines or on appropriate uid-mapping, see manpage (mount, nfs ...) gerhard
