I have mounted an NFS network share successfully using Webmin. The share seems to be mounted correctly and working correctly. If I login as root I can browse the share just fine.

However, I cannot seem to give another user access to read/write to this network share. When I look at the permissions I can see that it is owned by root and the group crontab can use the share. 

$ ls -las

4 drwxr-xr-x   3 root root    4096 Nov 11 23:35 .
4 drwxr-xr-x  23 root root    4096 Nov 11 23:35 ..
8 drwxrwx---+ 23 root crontab 4096 Feb 15  2013 private

So just to test thing out, I added crontab to my user scott.

$ groups

scott adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev crontab lpadmin sambashare

however I still can't access the share.

$ cd private/

-bash: cd: private/: Permission denied

Any ideas?

I was able to solve this problem by adding the user group to the ACL. I also modified the default group permissions so new files will also be accessible in the future.

Fist installed acl

sudo apt-get install acl

Changed the permissions

sudo setfacl -d -Rm g:nas:rwx  private/

# -d to change the directory default.
# -R for recursive
# -m g:nas:rwx to add the group to the ACL list for folder private/

I verified the changes:

sudo getfacl private/
