Mapping user ID when mounting an NFS volume

[NanoNyrd]

Hi,

I occationally need to mount a Unix NFS volume on my Macbook Pro. Is there a way to map the user ID? The volume mounts just fine, but as the UID is not mapped, I cannot edit the files.

I do this on the export. May not be the best way to do it, but it works for me. Here is a line from the /etc/exports file:

/home/me *(fsid=0,anonuid=383,anongid=100,crossmnt,rw,root_squash,all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

The "383" id I used is my ID on the server.

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately, that is not an option. First, I cannot change the server; second, it exports to a number of Linux boxes where my UID is the same as on the server.

I suspect that MacOS does not support this, but one can always hope.

Well, if you ever figure it out, please post the answer back here as it would be very handy for me also.
