Remember, just because the NFS mount is RW doesn't mean that automatically gives the user the correct file permissions. What does an 'ls -l' show on that mount from that user account? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> hello mark i guess i get the point. so you meant that i have to set the read write permission to all users. i am not an expert in ubuntu but i hope i get this basic part which u said can i do it with chmod ogu=rwx i am not sure about this command is this the right one to set the rw permission to all users ? donny </div>
