Well, I don't know enough about NFS to give you a difinitive answer, but the NFS Howto at TLDP.org has this to say: 7.7. Real permissions don't match what's in /etc/exports. /etc/exports is very sensitive to whitespace - so the following statements are not the same: /export/dir hostname(rw,no_root_squash) /export/dir hostname (rw,no_root_squash) The first will grant hostname rw access to /export/dir without squashing root privileges. The second will grant hostname rw privileges with root squash and it will grant everyone else read/write access, without squashing root privileges. Nice huh?
