Re: nfs users?

[Aly Dharshi <aly dharshi uleth ca>]

Hello,
	
	I think that you have allowed non-root to mount shares. Which means that your 
users have root access and they can have fun with your directories. Now note 
that a user on machine A with id 501 maybe different from user on machine B with 
id 501 so when you are trying NFS stuff there is a mis-match.

	Your solution would be to change root passwords on workstations. Mount the nfs 
share on to the workstations permanently(/etc/fstab is your new found friend), 
try to adopt LDAP, NIS/NIS+ as a central authentication method as these will 
unify your uid/gid and then provide appropriate access to the 
/home/www/development directory so that all users who need to access that can do 
so with out uid/gid problems.

	As to OSX what you can do is check out the mount options in the man pages and 
make sure that the shares are loaded onto the correct mount points as root via 
/etc/fstab permanently. They will be able with the NFS share's correctly.

	Cheers,
	
	Aly.
