/_This is what I attempted. I created a user with the same name on
/_computer2 (yes at some point I should have all my user accounts on the
/_same box) then created a group. I added the user to that group on
/_computer2 and gave that group ownership of the directory and rw
/_permision. username@computer2 can now successfully create files in the
/_directory. Now I go back to computer1 mount -t nfs the directory then su
/_- back to username and try to write to the directory It says I don't
/_have permission. What am I missing. Is there a setting to allow users on
/_remote hosts to write to the directory? Is there a way to add a remote
/_user to the group list? Please help. <g>

Hmmm, last time I had this problem my UID/GID's did not match.
NFS was happy once I got the UID's the same rather than the
usernames.
