[Clug-tech] Serve HTTP files from server via NFS over NFS

[John Jardine]

Don't know if this will help or not but I setup my DNS323's for NFS and
needed to map permissions to make it work nicely.

I have windows & linux clients accessing shared folders.  I did not
institute per-user security because I'm the only user.

Full write up of what I did here:
http://www.herd-of-neurons.com/DLINK_DNS-323_NFS.html

The part that you may need is the squash id command (on the DNS323):
/mnt/HD_a2/Common 192.168.1.0/24(rw,all_squash,anonuid=501,anongid=501)

Cheers,
J.J.
