and FAST too....Thanks to all who responded.....Answer was my syntax was
wrong, right syntax is

share -f nfs -o rw,anon=0 /tmp
or
share -f nfs -o rw,root=b /tmp

Original question:
Everything below is done as root:

>I have shared out my /tmp on server a as:
>
>share -f nfs -o rw /tmp anon=0
>I have also tried
>share -f nfs -o rw /tmp root=b
>
>Mounted on the client b under /temp as:
>mount a:/tmp /temp
>
>But i keep running into ownership problems. I copied a doc file from
/tmp
>to /temp. But the original ownership and groupname were changed to
nobody
>nobody respectively. I think I'm sahring out the file system in the
right
>manner but it doesnt seem to work....I must be doing something wrong
