I have NFS version 3 services running on Debian Testing which I then
mount on SuSE boxes. Lets see what my /etc/exports on Debian Testing says...

/smallass/documents 192.168.1.0/24(rw)
/smallass/mp3s 192.168.1.0/24(rw)

If I mount either of the exports, here is how it looks on SuSE 10...

mperry@foobar:~> sudo mount orion:/smallass/mp3s /mp3s
mperry@foobar:~> cd /mp3s/
mperry@foobar:/mp3s> touch test
mperry@foobar:/mp3s> ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 mperry users 0 2005-12-24 14:23 test

Now if I look at the results of the mount command on my suse laptop...

orion:/smallass/mp3s on /mp3s type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.50)

So I can touch files, edit files, and delete files as a non-root user on
this particular nfs share pretty easily.

That's about all I did to get things working. I don't know if it makes
differences or not, but the debian box is running XFS file systems and my
SuSE laptop is on reiserfs.

HtH somewhat.
