Wow! You were absolutely right!
The directory 'secure' was in '/home/walter' having:
/home root.users 750
/home/walter walter.trusted 770
Now, after adding read and execute permissions for others of each
directories, cattach worked.
Now, far from being a nfs expert, I wonder how I can get cfsd working with
the above permissions. Any way?
Thanks!
