We do this all the time (under BSD, not AIX).  Were you compiling as
root?  [Old] NFS maps root on clients to nobody on the server.

Speaking of old NFS, why hasn't IBM shipped SunRPC 4.0 / NFS4.0 with
AOS yet???  The RPC is free, and has been available for over a year
now.  The old RPC code doesn't function properly (do a "ruptime
SomeRt" from a Sun to see what I mean) and the new code does.  Also,
RT users around here would really like to be able to take advantage of
the new NFS functionality.
