Hi everyone.
        I have a Debian Linux 2.0.6 box which is NFS-mounting /var/spool/mail 
and /home from a Slakware Linux 1.2.8 box.  The 1.2.8 file system is exported 
using default values, and UID's/GID's are shared between both systems.  
The 2.0.6 box is mounting the file system using default settings.  
        The root account on the 2.0.6 client box cannot access NFS-mounted
files for read or write.  I have read the man pages for exports, nfsd, mountd, 
and mount on both boxes, along with the NFS-root mini-howto (just in 
case...), but cannot find anything to indicate what's wrong.  Therefore, I turn 
to the experts.  How can I get root account access to the NFS-mounted 
file systems?
                                                                            
    Thank you,
                                                                            
    Mark
