NFS

[Craig White]

This is probably second nature to most of you but I am now playing with
multiple linux boxes and have started to use NFS.

if I am logged on to one system as root and I mount a different system, i.e.

mount -t nfs barney:/home /home/barney

and then cd to /home/barney I see all of the folders in barney:/home but
most of them report 0 items when I cd into a folder and ls. I presume that
the problem has to do with the fact that I am root on my host machine but
not really root on the remote machine. How can I mount exported systems as
though I am root?
