We do this all the time (under BSD, not AIX). Were you compiling as root? [Old] NFS maps root on clients to nobody on the server. Speaking of old NFS, why hasn't IBM shipped SunRPC 4.0 / NFS4.0 with AOS yet??? The RPC is free, and has been available for over a year now. The old RPC code doesn't function properly (do a "ruptime SomeRt" from a Sun to see what I mean) and the new code does. Also, RT users around here would really like to be able to take advantage of the new NFS functionality. -- Scott Schwartz "APAR's? We don' neeed no steeenking APARS!"
