- from /usr/include/sys/errno.h
- #define EACCES 13 /* Permission denied */
- from /usr/include/nfs/nfs.h
- NFSERR_ACCES=EACCES, /* Permission denied */
-
- In short, you need to have root access to the nfs server's partitions in
- order to login as root. This is a hemeroid.
-
- So re-export from the server with -root=hostname1,hostname2,hostname3...
- for whatever hosts you want to be able to log in as root.
