Hi Guys,
I have a truecrypt container say 'secret.cont'. The container is living on the server owned and readable by the root user and 'setfacl'ed for user 'foo' to read and modify; the rest are denied even to read the container.
I am trying to mount it from a Fedora14 desktop in which I logged on as 'foo'. I could not mount the container as 'foo' can not mount anything on the desktop. At the same time if I add 'foo' to sudoers (to perform the mount), the client's 'root' can not read the container.
Can anybody suggest a work around/solution for this?
Please let me know if I am not clear in describing the problem.
Thanks

This may be more of a Fedora issue than a CentOS issue, but what does[code]ls -lF /path/to/secret.cont[/code]show on Fedora? What does "df -h" show?
It is not clear what you mean by "the client's 'root' can not read the container". Can [b]foo[/b] read the contents? Exactly what happens when root tries to access it?
Does everything work correctly on the server? Are the UID/GID for [b]foo[/b] the same on client and server? Anything relevant in the logs on server or client?
