    I rebuilt my file server from bare metal today (fedora core 3).
    Everything is running well and samba is working (THANK GOD), but for
    some dumb reason, I cannot get write permissions on my home directory
    export from the file server

    The /etc/exports file looks like this

    /home 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 (synch,no_root_squash,rw)

    And here is the /etc/fstab file from the webserver

    # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
    /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults
    1 1
    LABEL=/boot /boot
    ext3 defaults 1 2
    none /dev/pts
    devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    none /dev/shm
    tmpfs defaults 0 0
    none /proc
    proc defaults 0 0
    none /sys
    sysfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap
    defaults 0 0
    192.168.0.5:/home /home
    nfs hard,rw,nosuid
    /dev/hdb /media/cdrom
    auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
    auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

    [root@srvweb-02 ~]#

    When ever I try to create a document on the shared drive (/home) from
    the webserver, I get a permission denied error -- I can see it, and see
    the documents there, but I cannot access put new documents there (which
    I need to be able to do) I have chmoded the home folder (temporarially)
    to 777 perms, and I can read and write to it from the samba share (as I
    should be able to do) but not from nfs

    I have a suspicion that I have done something stupid and dumb, but I
    don't know what it is

    Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly helpful
