[Techtalk] nfs question

Hi All,

I'm a bit embarassed to ask this question, but here goes anyway.  I have 
two home computers running RH6.2(zoot).  On the server the /etc/exports 
file has the entry:

/goodstuff	hosta(rw,insecure)

I start nfs by running:

/sbin/service nfs start

I get the messages that nfs starts

On the client I run the command

mkdir /somedir

mount -t nfs server::/goodstuff   /somedir

I test the command by running mount

mount reports that /goodstuff from server is mounted to /somedir

I try to touch a file from the client to the mounted resource:

touch somefile /somedir

and I get permission denied.

What am I missing?  The two hosts can ping one another so the entries for 
each other in the /etc/hosts table is correct.
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
