Sorry for spamming, but I just realised an interesting thing. If I try (from the client) to access the files on the server, and I use my regular account, then my membership of the wheel allows me to access two of the files above. However, if I become root I can only access the world-readable file, even if I use -maproot=root or -mapall=root . Also, root is part of the wheel group on both the server and the client. /David
