List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net List, We get on occasion a permission error when we do a cd into an NFS mounted filesystem on an NFS client. The steps to correct have been on the NFS Client do a umount and mount.of the NFS filesystem. After that the permission problem goes away. Is this a known problem with NFS with the version I am running ? Is it corrected in the newer version that is available on the Novell patches website ? (newer version is nfs-utils-1.0.6-103.28) Message received: NFSbob@Linux02 $ cd /opt/tivoli/z1/zdev ksh: cd: /opt/tivoli/z1/zdev - Permission denied NFSbob@Linux02 $ The Linux hosts systems are SLES9 SP3 with additional maint.
