I have the following problem:
My home directory lies on the network and is mounted locally on home/<my username>
.
I can access it with my normal user account <my username>
, but as root, I cannot.
I do know about this question: https://serverfault.com/questions/571073/root-cannot-access-users-home-folder-shared-via-nfs
However, this, from my limited understanding of linux systems etc., seems to be some server-side-solution, if it's even applicable in this case.
But I need a client-side solution, since the admins won't change this for the time being.
So I was wondering if there was some sort of option to make the superuser automatically act like user <my username>
inside the sub-directory-tree /home/<my username>
, whenever the superuser needs access there.
As of now, the superuser can't even cd
into my home directory.
Please note, the solution should work for sudo
and in case I choose to sudo su
.
root_squash
at work, alright, so it is applicable. I take it you can't change the permissions for the paths leading to your home directory?
