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
