:I have several partitions from a 3.2-RELEASE machine mounted via NFS on a
:4.0-RELEASE machine.  On the 4.0 machine, I am unable to append to a world
:writable file (622, for example) that resides on the 3.2 machine.  This
:did not happen with 3.3.
:
:Using cat >>/nfspath/file results in "cat: stdout: Permission denied" as
:soon as the first line of text tries to get appended.
:
:I double-checked the mount point permissions on the 4.0 box and they are
:the same as on a 3.3 box that does the above with no problem.  The mount
:point is set to 755.
:
:Am I missing something very obvious, or have things changed a bit in this
:situation with 4.0?

    It's gotta be cockpit trouble somewhere.  Check your exports file
    carefully, if you do not tell it to map root to root, it will run
    root ops as nobody.
