I observe the same behavior. In addition, I notice that user permissions will work (ie, if the non-root user owns the file, then they can read it), however as mentioned above "other" read permission doesn't appear to work. Also I notice that "showmount" results in an error message "RPC: Unknown hostCan't do Mountdump rpc". "Showmount localhost" fails the same way. "Showmount ljgpc", however, works. This started after I switched to the latest patched kernel available with the latest XFree (but of course that doesn't mean I don't have something misconfigured). Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. larry-granroth@uiowa.edu
