Hello.
I think I see the problem with regard to setuid programs and nfs.
It's in the kernel.
It's in the file kernel-source-2.0.27/fs/nfs/proc.c.
Alas the same code is repeated in several places, so I'm not sure how to
fix it: there must be a reason for exact this coding.
Does anybody here know
[Mailed to debian-user as well as this relevant (bug in my test program).]

Ah!
Oops. Disregard my last message, which didn't contain anything new. I
slipped on the keys.
According to joost witteveen:

Yes, but it's /var that's mounted. On the client (kant, descartes is the
server):
kant:~> mount
[...]
descartes.dcd.se:/var/

OK, I didn't want to test anything myself, as that meant adding
no_root_squash myself. But I've done that now, and I see what
you mean.
I don't really think this has
Thanks for the response, I've been feeling abandoned lately!

I've mailed to debian-user twice earlier about this but I haven't
gotten any responses at all.
If you know NFS, please try this an tell me if it works for you or
not.
As it doesn't work for me and I think it wont work for you, I suppose
I'd file a bug report but I don't know if it's the nfsd, lib
