This makes sense, and this is exactly how I have setup my
/etc/exports file:
	/home (rw,no_root_squash)
and then restart nfs with
	rcnfsserver restart
but still does not provide access to /home/cormac - just as
if I was trying to access the directory as nobody.

Maybe it's not picking up the new /etc/exports file when
restarting...

Thanks for the suggestion,
Cormac.
