root access over nfs

[news.spiegl@kascada.com (Andy Spiegl)]

Hi,

sorry for posting so many questions in different articles today,
but I want to make it easier to answer for anyone who can help me
on a single question.

But here, I've actuallye got 2 problems concerning 'root' in a
network.  For one thing, I am not able to log in as root on my
other debian machine for a non root account:

mpcii:~> rlogin mpci -l root
Password: <correct passwd>
Login incorrect

I think I have heard that this can be configured somewhere, but
I can't remember where.

The other thing is that I can't write to a nfs mounted directory,
not even as root:

mpci:~# mount
[...]
mpcii:/usr/local/bin on /usr/local/bin type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.0.1)
[...]
mpci:~# cd /usr/local/bin
mpci:/usr/local/bin# touch test
touch: test: Permission denied

I assume those problems are correlated, but I have no idea for a
solution.  Anyone?

Thanks a lot in advance,
 Andy.
