get /usr/local, /usr/ports, and /usr/src remotely mounted from my nearby FreeBSD system. I can get the mount done, but I can't affect any files ... for example, if I tryi to touch (as root on the Zaurus) /usr/local/garbage, I get "Permission denied". i don't have any cklear idea if this is a problem on the Zaurus (OpenBSD) or The FreeBSD server.

Sounds like PEBKAC, you provided no information whatsoever, for examxple
/etc/exports on the server would be good - my bet is you don't have
-maproot=root specified.  Maybe learn about setting up NFS a little, eg:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html
or read the manpages...

Obviously nothing to do w/ OpenBSD... strange you posted here, really.
After that flaming on the lists, I guess I could expect a lttle ribbing over it, but tjhios really hasn't got anything to do with that, and I would like to let that go away. You might remember, I tried pretty hard to see if I could make it go away early in the thing, I don't really like flames any more than I think you do.

As far as that goes, deleting out my listing of the verbose mount, and then claiming I "provided no infomation whatsover" was a cheap shot, wasn't it? Seems dishonest from one point of view?

I have been poring over t he man pages, most especially the exports one, because I had a lot of trouble getting it to work right, I misunderstood one feature, and it took me a great long time to figure it out. I have actualy IPs in my exports file, and I felt a little funny posting it, but maybe I could have made some changes and showed that. You were right on one count, though, I hadn't had any -map* features in there, and I will begin adding some.

btw, PEBKAC"  ??  I dunno what this means.
