NFS user autentification and NFS problem

[GNUtoo]

hello, is it possible to make NFS autenticate users like in samba...
it's for remplacing samba because it's a lot faster...(tested it on a gigabit link)


i also have a problem...i can't share more than one folder with NFS:
i share 2 folders
i mount the first folder
i mount the second one
the content of the first folder was mount on the second mount point

NFS authentication is done at the machine level. You can specify which machines are allowed to mount particular local directories, but you cannot require individual remote users to authenticate. However, NFS mounted volumes enforce normal Unix permissions, so if each user involved has a consistent uid on all machines, permissions will still work. For example, the GNUtoo user would need to be uid X on all machines, Hu be X+1 on all machines, etc.

For the second problem, please show us /etc/exports from the server and the mount commands from the client. If you are using fstab to remember mount options, post the /etc/fstab from the client.
