NFS and map_static

Hi everybody,

I'm attempting to set up two distinct NFS exports on a box running
Debian Testing. Both are to be accessed exclusively by a single host:

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be
exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5)

/home/poop/Public 192.168.2.1(rw, insecure,
map_static=/etc/nfs/poop.map)
/home/poop 192.168.2.1(rw, insecure,
map_static=/etc/nfs/poop.map)
/var/www 192.168.2.1(rw, insecure,
map_static=/etc/nfs/www.map)
/usr/lib/cgi-bin 192.168.2.1(rw, insecure,
map_static=/etc/nfs/www.map)

Here is my poop.map:

# This file maps remote identifiers to local identifiers.
# remote local

uid 501 1000
gid 501 1000

And my www.map:

# This file maps remote identifiers to local identifiers.
# remote local
uid 501 33
gid 501 33

Basically, what I'm trying to do is log into my /usr/lib/cgi-bin
directory remotely so that I can easily edit some files I'm working on
(and test them without having to transfer them over and over). As
configured, this works great. However, as configured, I can't write to
my home directory, which is a pain in the ass. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Did you check the owner and rights on your mount point (on the client side)
?

Did you mount the share in "rw" mode ?

I double-checked, and it still isn't working. I mounted my (remote)
home directory and ls -al reported that all of the files contained in
it were owned by "nobody." I mounted my (remote) /usr/lib/cgi-bin
directory and ls -al reported at each of the files was owned by my
current local user. So UID/GID mapping *is* working for the cgi-bin
directory.

I changed the order in which exports were declared in /etc/exports, so
that the declaration sharing my home directory came after
/usr/lib/cgi-bin, but the behavior remains broken. If I comment out
the declaration for the remote cgi-bin directory (in /etc/exports), I
*can* write to my home directory. ls -al reports that my current local
user owns the remote files. I think my nfs server just doesn't like
multiple map files. :-(

Thanks for your suggestions.
