Squashing users and groups in NFS

I have a directory which is shared using NFS and Samba. I would like all
files and folders in that directory to be owned by "nobody" and preferably
have the permissions g+rw o+rw. In samba this is trivial. I've attempted
to do this via NFS with the export below but is doesn't work, all new
files are owned by the user they are created with, they are not squashed.

/home/shared/office
10.190.42.64/28(rw,async,all_squash,anongid=1001,anonuid=65534)


Ideas?

Thanks
Nigel

Did you reexport this share using exportfs? Try exportfs -rav, umount
and remount your share. If it still doesn't work, what do your logfiles
say?

Thanks, works like a charm.

Fancy that, using linux for 6+ years and I'm still learning basic commands

Look in /var/lib/nfs/etab - you'll see all the defaults laid out
explictily and can tweak from there.
