Hello Folks;

Presently, Iam struggling a bit with a permissions problem when trying to
access a NFS partition from my file server. I have a large amount of files
on my fileserver that I want to share with some friends but I cannot get
past a permissions problem.

/home/ftp/boris #the directory to access files on dino - my ftp server box
/home/pub #the directory full of files on boris

As a normal user i cannot access any of the files thru /home/ftp/boris.
As root i can access all files ok.

[root@boris root]# cat /etc/exports
/home/pub 10.0.1.61(rw,no_root_squash) 10.0.1.1(ro,no_root_squash)

As a normal user and the NFS partition not mounted I can access
/home/ftp/boris.

Go figure? Im kinda stumpted here. The above line leads me to believe that
the problem is in the NFS server somewhere. I always run into permission
problems when setting up NFS connections and it drives me crazy sometimes.

ANyways, Any suggestions are welcome here. Im going to check my mount
lines in my fstabs right now (again) and wait for any takers here.
