It's Linux on both ends... server is e-smith 5.6 - client is RH 8
If I have to specify gid=xxx then I lose the benefit of having
whoever logs into the workstation be able to use the share as
"theirs" unless I have a separate auto.master entry for each
user (painful). I'll try that though to see if it works :-)
The /etc/exports file is empty on the server.
I'm waiting for 3.0 with great anticipation.
Thanks
