Set up LAN Debian Etch server

[rocky <rocky2winnie@gmail.com>]

Hey,

My desktop has Debian Etch running on it. I have another laptop has
latest Ubuntu installed on it. I want my Debian Etch box to serve as
file server so I can back up the files from Ubuntu laptop to Debian
desktop.

I installed nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server on my Debian Etch box. In
the /etc/exports  and /etc/hosts I made the corresponding
configurations. From Ubuntu's shell I install and started the nfs-
common and created a directory /mnt/private. But mount rocky-desk:/
home/lover/shareTest /mnt/private/ makes owner and group of the /mnt/
private to nagios. The permission for that is 644. My user name for
the Ubuntu box is not nagios. I do not even use root to change /mnt/
private 's permission. Can any of you tell me how I can make the
ubuntu box's /mnt/private directory with correct user & group so I can
read and write the files stored on Debian Etch box please?

Blessings,
Rocky
