I have set up NFS share and it is working properly with 770 or 777 permission on the directory but the minute I have the permission for the group like 760 or 750 then it stops work and I can't access the share( it says permission denied ).
when the permission is:
chmod 770 /public
then it works properly but when the permission is:
chmod 760 /public
It does not let me access the share giving me an error saying permission denied.
The user account you use to access the share, needs to have the required permissions to access it, the same way as a "normal" directory (i.e. on the local disk).
Since you can access it with 0770 permissions set, your user account apparently is a member of the same group as the share itself.
To put it another way: if you make some normal directory, say /test and set permissions to 0740 you would also only be able to access it, if you are the owner of /test. This is not a special thing inn NFS or something like that.
