If it is linux on both ends then you do NOT need to specify uid and
gid. I would suggest to try putting something like the following
in /etc/exports on the server:
/share/misc 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,async)
I actually put an entry for each file system and of course you need to season
it to taste. This works for me and gives the desired behaviour of seeing who
owns the files.
My auto.master entries look something like:
/tigger /etc/auto.tigger --timeout=60
and the auto.tigger entry looks like:
src -rw,soft,intr tigger:/usr/src
local -rw,soft,intr tigger:/usr/local
# This is the catch all rule.
* -ro,soft,intr tigger:/&
the above allows me to do things like cd /tigger/home/tdiehl and access my
home directory on tigger from another machine. this sounds a littlt different
from what you are doing but I think you can get the general idea.
I have never used esmith but I cannot imagine things being
all that different. It is after all just nfs.
