[ale] NFS

[Patrick Ramsey]

Ok guys/gals,

Can anyone share any experiences they have had with NFS that may relate to my problem?

I have 5 client side machines and one server.  The client machines need to be able to mount the server each night to run a couple of scripts and copy some files.  

The mount goes well and all seems hunkydorey until I try to write to NFS.  

This is my server side exports entry for wab.util.
/opt/utilbackup/wab    wab.util(rw)

This is one of the client side mount entries in its fstab file. (wab.util)
hasbro:/opt/utilbackup/wab  /mnt/utilbackup     nfs     rw,bg,hard,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 0 0

Reading from the NFS is fine...but attempting to write returns  "Permission Denied" from server.

Any ideas?

I do not know of any other way to enable read/write outside the (rw) on the server and rw on the client.

ps. the server is running suse 6.1 with its nfs install and Mandrake 6.0 with its nfs install is on the client side.
