I could sure use some help here.

I have this Zaurus pda, running OpenBSD (FreeBSD doesn't run on arm, 
last I looked), and I have just gotten usb networking to work.  I am 
trying to get nfs mounts to work, and I have very nearly got it working, 
except for one problem: permissions.

For example, I have a /usr3/local that I want to mount as /usr/ports on 
the Zaurus.  When I do that (and it does mount), if I try to "touch 
garbage", it comes back and tells me "Permission denied".  I can't get 
around this.  The mount isn't ro, in fact, when I do the mount -v, I get:

april.chuckr.org:/usr3/osrc/ports on /usr/ports type nfs (rw, ctime=Sat 
Oct  8 10:23:49 2005, v3, tcp, hard, wsize=8192, rsize=8192, 
rdirsize=8192, timeo=100, retrans=10, maxgrouplist=16, readahead=1, 
acregmin=5, acregmax=60, acdirmin=5, acdirmax=60)

Showmount -e on FreeBSD shows the right network (I was going to post it, 
but I chickened out, it's got too much stuff I don't want publicized, I 
have static IPs).


How come I can't get permissions fixed?
