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.
ok, your hint about -map proved to be right, I'd taken out nearly everything in my exports file, simplfying it because I'd misundertood something basic, and I was trying to remove complications. I forgot, after tripping over my solution, to stick the -map stuff back in.

It's back in, and my networking is humming nicely.  Thanks.
