yes, so, I thought I'd change it to my regular user, but, as soon as you 
mount the remote dir to it, the ownership goes back to root:root

[coolboarderguy at localhost ~]$ id
uid=500(coolboarderguy) gid=500(coolboarderguy) groups=500(coolboarderguy)

yes, that's a last option, though.

so, I have to add a user(for example, coolboarderguy), from the client 
machine, into a group on the server, or make it the owner of that 
dir/file on the server machine.? I thought giving the 
host(192.168.168.12) rw options in the exports file allows that host to 
write to the dir, no..?
