Thanks very much! That worked!

I'm one step further, in front of the next problem. On the server side, my
/etc/exports looks like this:

--8<---------
/vrac   192.168.1.5(rw)
-------------

For the moment, I don't bother about security, I just set up a no-frills
configuration and try to fine-tune and secure it later. So no hosts.allow or
hosts.deny. Of course, the /vrac directory exists, and there's some stuff in
it.

I start the server.

On the client (192.168.1.5) side, I have a /localvrac directory. Now I do this:

# mount 192.168.1.1:/vrac /localvrac

I cd into localvrac (as root), and I can see the contents of the remote
directory. So far so good. Put as soon as I try to either open one of the text
files or do a 'touch something.txt', I get a Permission denied error.

What did I do wrong?
