User rights on NFS exported by Linux

HI all,
I set up a NFS server using a Linux (Mandriva 2008.0) box that exports a single directory to two Tru64 machines. I mouted the NFS export as /mnt/nfs on both machines and gave all users the right to add/modify files and direcories on the NFS export. This works just after the chmod then when I try to access the export again (for example the day after) I have a permission denied error. I'm looping on chmod - permission denied.

Could someone suggest me what I doing the wrong way?

My /etc/export (on Linux) is:
[root@servernfs sc]# cat /etc/exports
#
/home/flink 192.168.200.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,insecure)
/media/disk 192.168.200.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,insecure)

My /etc/fstab (on Tru64):
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/dsk0a / ufs rw 1 1
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/disk/dsk0f /usr ufs rw 1 2
/dev/disk/dsk0b /var ufs rw 1 2
/dev/disk/dsk1c /usr2 ufs rw 1 2
192.168.200.9:/home/flink /mnt/nfs nfs rw 0 2

TIA

I don't understand that part. Do you have the FS mounted on /mnt/nfs in Tru64, and when you run chmod you get permission denied?

You must also post the permissions for the directory/files itself and the user who get permission denied.
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

Re: User rights on NFS exported by Linux

I was not clear, I did this way:
as root:
1) create the export
2) edited /etc/fstab
3) issued a mount -a
as user:
4) cd /mnt/nfs
5) got permission denied
as root:
6) cd /mnt/
7) chmod -R a+wr nfs/
as user (on one tru64 machine
8) cp ... /mnt/nfs
as user on the other tru64 machine
9) cp /mnt/nfs

I did this yesterday, today I just tried to copy to the share as user and got a permission denied again. Neither the Linux box, neither the tru64 machines where rebooted in the meanwhile.

Tomorrow, I'm at home now, I'll post more details.

TIA

Re: User rights on NFS exported by Linux

Yesterday I did: chmod -R a+wr /mnt on both Tru64 boxes. Today as user:
flink@sccar02 > cd /mnt/nfs
flink@sccar02 > ls
.: Permission denied

I checked as root:

root@sccar01> ls -la /mnt
total 28
drwxrwxrwx 4 root system 8192 Mar 27 13:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 29 root system 8192 Mar 14 13:20 ..
drwx--x--x 5 root system 4096 Apr 9 16:23 nfs

root@sccar02 > ls -la /mnt
total 7
drwxrwxrwx 4 root system 512 Mar 27 15:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root system 1024 Apr 9 16:42 ..
drwx--x--x 5 root system 4096 Apr 9 16:23 nfs

Bye

Re: User rights on NFS exported by Linux

Try this for test and tell what happened:
On TRU64 machines:
# chmod 777 /mnt/nfs
# cd /mnt/nfs
# chmod 777 some_files
login as ordinary user and
$ ls -al /mnt
$ ls -al /mnt/nfs
