Help I can't write to my NFS share!

Linux in general:

Ok, so I'm not so proud that I can't admit when I do something stupid...

I had created an nfs share and could mount it, but I couldn't write anything to it! Well the first question should have been "do I have rights to write to the file system?" and there would have been my answer... Yes in the end it was just a file system rights issue...

My problem is I'm not really use to Linux and I forget that it has full multi user rights...

So...

Make sure you check the rights of what you are mounting and make sure that "other" (or if you are mounting it with a specific "user") has access... Here is a good web page that helped me understand Linux security rights ( http://www.freeos.com/articles/3127/ )...

Well back to it...

Could be a packet problem. If you have installed the nfs-user-server packet, change it to nfs-kernel-server
