using the NFS daemon on linux, how do you 
retain root status on the remotely mounted files??

the usual stuff for unix does not appear to work 

i.e. 

******** exports **********

/dir     -rw=host,access=host,root=host

nor does

/dir     (rw) host

how does root write or create files on the remote system
without explicitly setting all the directories mode 777 ??

It appears that the options

root_squash      does not permit root access ( maps to -2 per docs )
and
no_root_squash   does not permit root access ( does not map at all )


any help out there??
