non-root write access to NFS share

  • Follow


I am setting up a distributed build environment in which mount an NFS
share from a Solaris 8 box on to different hosts at the same time. All
these hosts (Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris 9/10) need write access to the
NFS mount. However, the build happens using a non-privileged build
account and somehow the local build users on these boxes cannot write
to the distribution directory inside the mount.

NFS share options in /etc/dfs/dfstab are:

/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw,anon=0 /export/home/build

There is a local machine build user on each machine. The distribution
directory has permissions of the form:

drwxr-xr-x .... /export/home/build/dist

While the other boxes can write to /export/home/build, they cannot
write to /export/home/build/dist or to any of its sub-dirs.

Any pointers will help.

Cheers,
Arindam
