Your right Arnold no_root_sqash is needed with a standard Gentoo setup. However, I prefer doing the following: * Make sure /usr/portage is owned by portage:portage on the NFS server and permissions are set properly. I use 0755. * Add the userpriv and usersandbox options to FEATURES in /etc/make.conf on the NFS clients. * Export /usr/portage using the options sync and root_squash. I consider it more secure with less impact if an ebuild screws up the systems. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
