Thus Paul M Foster hast written on Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 06:45:03PM -0500, and, according to prophecy, it shall come to pass that:

I was thinking about how you could get it to work with Samba, but needed to
make yourself the owner...So I checked your mount settings

>>> pokey:/lan /lan/backup nfs sec=none,soft,intr,timeo=12,wsize=8192,rsize=8192 0 0

and remembered that I'd read

        sec=mode Set the security flavor for this mount to "mode".
                The default setting is sec=sys, which uses local
                unix uids and gids to authenticate NFS operations
                (AUTH_SYS). Other currently supported settings are:
                sec=krb5, which uses Kerberos V5 instead of local unix
                uids and gids to authenticate users; sec=krb5i, which
                uses Kerberos V5 for user authentication and performs
                integrity checking of NFS operations using secure
                checksums to prevent data tampering; and sec=krb5p,
                which uses Kerberos V5 for user authentication and
                integrity checking, and encrypts NFS traffic to prevent
                traffic sniffing (this is the most secure setting).
                Note that there is a performance penalty when using
                integrity or privacy.

Try changing the "sec" mount option to "local", then unmount and mount the
filesystem on the client.

Out of curiosity, can you read any non-world-readable files or get a
directory listing over the NFS mount?
