If I chmod my $HOMEDIR to 777, then you can read/write to it. But, if I export it via /etc/exports (NFS), you can't mount it unless you're root. Expected behavior, seems to me, in light of my experience with 'Nixes. I don't know if the sysctl "vfs.usermount" would apply in the case of NFS or not; it does for floppies and CDROM's, I think. You might try it; good luck! Kevin Kinsey
