I have RedHat 6.1 with: knfsd-clients-1.4.7-7 knfsd-1.4.7-7 My export file looks like this: /usr/local/pub private.isu.edu(ro,squash_all) The target machine still gets all the UIDs and only the root-owned files get squashed to nobody. The nobody IDs are the same on both machines (the target machine is RedHat 5.2). This makes it next to impossible to have public exports based on real user's work.
It's all_squash, not squash_all.
