Networking :: nfs mount, mount: only root can do that

good idea, I'll post back with a solution.

I just realized yesterday why I didn't get NFS to work between my Ubuntu box and my DSL laptop.

The file I wanted to share was owned by root, running chmod 777 xxx.iso as myself didn't respond with a warning that the permissions on the .iso file hadn't been changed.

I'm sure if I did a

sudo su
chmod 777 xxx.iso

I would have had more joy.

I found also that I had to restart the NFS service on my Ubuntu machine before it would allow me to connect to it.
