I have created a few NFS shares on my network and have got almost all the
kinks worked out. However, I noted one issue today that is quite annoying.
If I am working as root on one of the machines accessing a share, I am
unable to modify files on that share. It is obviously a permissions issue,
but is there any way to give root, on any system, full permissions on all
shares? I would like it to act as if the share was a local folder, if
possible.

Thank You,
Jason Williard
