I use my local Linux User Group, full service.
My local linux user group. Chuckle. I am 1 of a group of 3. Not too many linux users in these here parts. I am quite likely 100 miles from the nearest "user group" that numbers 10 or more.
I use nfs on my local network, it just works so I am far from an expert. I export my "/home/<user>" dir and manually mount , cli, on the clients.
Debian stable.
Debian Wheezy. With TDE.

Hi Gene!
I dropped NFS on linux ages ago, due to simillar issues as you describe. Now I use SSHFS and haven't had any issues since then. So, what about using SSHFS instead of NFS?
Nik
Never heard of it till now. So I installed it, along with sshmenu which pulled in a dozen other rubyish packages.
Silly Q though, does mc understand sshfs? Or do I need to find a new 2 pane file manager that does understand it?
One thing's for sure, NFS, even V4 is old enough to have bit rot.
Thanks Nik. Off to read some man pages.

Well, as a sample fstab entry, I have gotten as far as its asking for a root password, something that does not exist on any of my debian installs. and of course my pw, used with sudo, is no good.
How do I go about telling it I am the user doing the mounting and if needed, the unmounting? "defaults,idmap=user" in the fstab apparently does nothing. As a test, miss-spelling user does get bounced.
Thanks Nik.
