"Everyone" permissions has no application to NFS shares. This is more of a Windows issue than CentOS, so feel free to contact me off-list. Sorry to ask the obvious, but are you sure you are configuring the share via the "NFS Sharing" tab and not the "Sharing" tab in the Properties dialog? They are completely different animals. You don't specify user permissions for NFS shares other than which hosts have access and whether or not the root user has access. If your share is set up right, then I would suspect that your implementation of User Name Mapping may be incorrect. I'm using Storage Server 2003 which should be more or less the same as your Windows box, so I should be able to offer additional assistance with Mapping if that is the issue. We access Windows NFS from CentOS all day, every day, so I know it can be done. Once you are up and running, I would be interested in your observations on performance. We have occasional problems with concurrency. While one process is rsync-ing a bunch of small files to NFS, another machine accessing a different NFS share will get "permission denied" and the Windows Event log will show "A User Name Mapping error has occurred" with no helpful details. Still scratching our heads on that one. Jeff
