Understood. Fixed that.

Yes, because this was the question I had originally.. :) How can I make
sure that I get -maproot=root on those two named boxes, which live inside
the 127.0.0.0/255 network, while still allowing the rest of the boxes
present in both other subnets to access the shared *without*
-maproot=root? The errors I posted were specifically complaining about the
127.0.0.0 and 10.0.5.0 network lines (note, for security I am not posting
the real network ranges).

The two boxes in question, do have working DNS, and are boxes we use as
our NIS masters, so I need to be able to create home directories on the
fileserver, where the home directories live, hence needing maproot.

The other boxes in the 127.0.0.0/255 range are other servers in my
cluster, which need to mount directories from the fileserver--and in my
case, a lot      of users have sudo capability for testing/development
purposes, so I don't want them having -maproot=root capability on those
other servers.

10.0.5.0 is a range of IPs where my users mount their home directories and
shared tools directories on their desktop boxes.

Does this clear up my question?

Thanks in advance!
Best,
