I’ve go an iMac with Fedora 8 setup as a nfs server. Usually I access this from my Macbook which currently also is running Fedora 8, but in a dual boot setup with Os X. When in Fedora the Macbook has read and write access and everything work flawlessly, but in Os X I have until now only had read access.
After testing out different settings on the server with no luck I suddenly realized what the problem was. The uid on my user in Os X was different from my uid in Fedora. Fedora uses uid 500 for the first user on the system (you can find your uid in the /etc/passwd file), but in Os X my uid was 501. To remedy this I changed the uid on my Os X user to match the uid on in Fedora with the following two steps. (Warning!!!This can probably mess up your system pretty bad!! I did it on a fresh install of Os X, and had no data to loose. You follow these instructions at your own risk. )
This is the uid change
# sudo dscl . -change /Users/morten UniqueID 501 500This reclaims ownership of my users home directory
# sudo chown -Rh morten /Users/morten
After a reboot and some minor checks to see that everything was still ok with my Os X install, I started the “Directory Utility” and made a new map to my nfsserver. High presto.. write access!!
Os X also needs the setting “insecure” on the server to be able to connect. This setting give nfs permission to use ports above 1024.
