This did work in the past - so what has changed? how do I check what version of nfs is actually working?
Root squash may be enabled by default, try adding the "no_root_squash" option to your exports file on the server side, you may need to remount the volume on the client side after restarting/reloading nfs on the server.

tried that and that now normal chmod as me works okay but sudo chmod still not permitted. I tried dragging a file to my desktop, opening and saving back to desktop works fine. Drag from desktop back onto folder via the file browser also works fine! So I guess nfs is okay? BTW chmod +w file.doc only changes permissions for owner and group - world is left untouched, not what I remembered, I guess some man reading coming my way.
So now it seems what I have is an Openoffice problem. It writes odt files just fine via nfs but not doc files. Must be a micro$oft conspiracy. I'll take this off list as it does not appear to be a CentOS issue. Thanks for the help. Rob
if the 'mount' is done as a 'user' mount but then you switch to su with sudo command, this would be a likely result.

Is there any way to know what level (version) of nfs is in use? I know how to distinguish between v4 and the rest (the mount uses nfs4 rather than just nfs) but how about the lower levels? Thanks Rob
