Keeping temporärly away from NIS I added user "rland" on MINI to group "users". On GOOFY user "rland" belongs only to group "users". After this "rland" on MINI may view the files and do a ls -l, but he cannot write to the mounted nfs dir. Even after rereading you help - I couldn't figure out what I had missed. Would you kindly give me more assistance? Robert
