ownership on nfs-server



Hi all,
I have an NFS-server and want to use it as backup storage. Unfortunately I
cannot access it from my other computer, configured as an nfs-client. As
root (on the client) I can see the NFS-server's files (the server's
filesystem is mounted to a directory on the client), but I can not write
to them. And as user on the client I can not even read the files. I have
the same user names (and IDs) on the NFS-server and the client. How can I
tell the server, that the client's users have write permissions on their
directories on the server? (Actually, I have two users on the server, who
should have their own directories).

I don't know if the following is related to the named problem, but I think
so: I want to remote administrate the server from the client via krdc. But
there cames no connection... (the network connection works, as I can see
the remote filesystem, as mentioned above).
I'd appreciate every hint!
Thanks a lot, Richard
