Problem with Mac NFS client -> Linux NFS Server

Hey all, I found out how to set up an NFS-mounted directory on my Linux box so that my Mac could read/write to/from it. (mount points on both systems are even the same: /mnt/NFS/Archive as the example.)

I went into Directory Utility, under the Mounts tab to add the mount point at what I thought was the final step (nfs://Jazz/mnt/NFS/Archive -> /mnt/NFS/Archive), and it did say the lookup was successful and added everything ok.

The only problem I'm having now is the permissions - I can't copy or move anything over into that directory. Does NFS use the "other" permission bits when going across a network like that? It's been a few years since I ran Linux (about 3), so I know I could do chmod 777 on that directory (or would I need to do it for the entire set of directories?), but wouldn't that ALSO allow someone to just delete the directory outright? (I always had my directories set where I was a member of that group so I could do chmod 775, and not leave everyone with full permissions to do whatever they want...

This is really my first time ever setting up NFS, so it's a bit of a learning curve, but I think it's almost working...

Thanks for any help,

-Bryan
