[ale] nfs problems

[Ken Nagorski]

Hi there,

	I recently started using nfs to export /home among other
things. Here is the deal I seem to have a hard time with file permissions,
(maybe) I am not sure that is the answer. 

	For instance I get some stuff I downloaded right. I say tar xvfz
package.tar.gz I keeps complaining that it can't create package/<whatever>
no such file or directory. Now when It is all done I see the it did create
that package dir but it is empty. 

	I am using slackware 7.1 with 2.4.5 kernels for both. Obvoiusly I
have nfs compiled in and set up or it wouldn't even mount the drives...

	I am confused. What would casue this. I haven't found anything
about it in the howto's nothing in any error logs I see. I am stumped???

Ken
