I am trying to get "root" access to an SGI system's files that are mounted on an Apollo for backup purposes - I can not backup files which don't have at least 'r' permissions for "world" so it is clear that I am not getting root access. Here is the /etc/exports file from the SGI: /usr -root=alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca,access=alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca I can mount the file system OK, and can backup files that have 'r' permissions for "world". I have tried a few other variants on the above, e.g. without the 'access=...', with no difference. After each attempt, I have done 'exportfs -a' on the SGI, then unmounted and remounted the SGI file system on the Apollo. To make NFS work this far, I have had to add '-n' to the 'mountd' commands in /usr/etc/inetd.conf on the SGI. Any hints? -- Mike Peterson, System Administrator, U/Toronto Department of Chemistry E-mail: system@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Tel: (416) 978-7094 Fax: (416) 978-8775
