NFS from command prompt

[ManagerJay]

I have NFS setup and basically working, but I would like to tweak it a little bit to make it work exactly the way I would like for it to, but can't seem to find the right combination.

On my server, I have NFS setup and working and as long I connect to the share from a workstation and use a KDE to move files, everything works fine.

When I drop out to the command prompt and try to copy or move files, I receive a "Permission Denied" error. However, if I su to root, I am able to write to the share without any problems.

On the server, my /etc/exports file contains the following:

/home/hallja 10.X.X.X(rw,no_root_squash)

Both users gave the same UID on both systems.

The server is running RedHat 6.2 and the workstation is running RedHat 7.2.

If I remove no_root_Squash, root is not able to write to the share either. But, my understanding of NFS is that this is by design.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

strange,
because I have some SUN workstations those ar writing on a RedHat Linux.

Are you sure that you have the same UID on both systems?
(the same UID, not USERNAME)

Yes, the UIDs are the same.

What had happened is the person I was working with was changing the ownership on the directory to root since they could not get something to work the way they wanted it to.

I would change it, then they would change it back. Now that is resolved and everything is working like it should.

Thanks for your help.
