I am setting up a dozen or so systems that will need to fetch users prefs from a NFS mount point. These will be 32bit servers, but the directory servers where these prefs are will be running Linux on Itanium2. These 64bit servers I intend to export (NFS) out to the 32bit servers; is there anything I should be aware of in this config? Can 32bit systems write to theat NFS export, and compatibility switch or option flags I need to know about?

Regards,

Jon

32 and 64 bit platforms interoperate just fine via NFS. No special switches/flags needed.
