    One thing that puzzles me is that I can put files on the server from
    this F-11 box without a hitch, permissions just work but her Mac is
    showing up with the "nfsnobody" files? I guess I need to find why
    that's happening, my problem or hers?

    Ok, I will look at these things again but even using "su -" it
    didn't let me chown to bobg?

    I'll have a go at t again later.

    Thank you.
