NFS Client Ubuntu permissions


When using Nautilus it is constantly asking me for my password before allowing access to NFS shares.

Most NFS client setups say to mount NFS shares as nobody.nogroup

I sometimes see the NFS shares permissions as root.root

Would it not be best to mount NFS shares with your username ? ie teddy.teddy ??

This is my home NFS server so there are no other users

NFS server is Ubuntu 19.10-Server
NFS client is Ubuntu 19.10-Desktop

Hi teddymills1,

How are you mounting your nfs shares, through fstab ? That is my preferred method - I just include the "users" option on each line representing a share to mount, which enables mounting by non-root users. By personal preference, I also use the "noauto" option so that the system doesn't try to mount shares at boot time, in case I am not on my local network at any given time (I use laptops to connect to my server).

Hope this helps - let us know if anything.

Cheers.
