Mico,

check man netgroup:
For remote mounts, the information in netgroup classifies machines.for remote logins and remote shells, it classifies users.

Hi,

You have to be root to mount NFS filesystems. That's the behaviour. Your export options will not prevent root from mounting the NFS mount points.

Try writing into that directory.

hi,

From man page:
"For remote mounts, the information in netgroup classifies machines;

for remote logins and remote shells, it
classifies users. "

What it it mean by remote mount ?

I'm accessing the NFS client via telnet session. Thanks
