Hello scratchbox-users,

I'm trying to install Scratchbox 0.9.8 on an NFS-exported
partition and while the initial installation looked good - 

1) I've unpacked the files (as root): 
	scratchbox-core-0.9.8.8.tar.gz
	scratchbox-devkit-debian-0.9.8.8.tar.gz
	scratchbox-libs-0.9.8.8.tar.gz
	scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm-0.9.8.5-6.tar.gz
	scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-i386-0.9.8.5-6.tar.gz

2) run /scratchbox/run_me_first.sh,

3) added the users to "sbox" group (we use LDAP here),

4) run sbox_adduser on every user (and see the 
   subdirs in /scratchbox/users being created)

now I'm stuck with this problem:

[root at borcx169] # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

[root at borcx169] # /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start
/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl: Permission denied.

[root at borcx169] # ll /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl
-rwxr-xr--  1 root sbox 951 Dec 16  2005 /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl*

[root at borcx169] # mount|grep scratchbox
bonfs04:/vol/nrc1/scratchbox on /scratchbox type nfs
(rw,fg,nfsvers=3,tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,hard,nointr,addr=xxx.xxx.90.236
)


Probably because of the NFS-exports I'm unable 
run the script /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl as root (and
later I was going to allow the users to run it through sudo). 

Does anybody please have an idea, how could
install Scratchbox into an NFS-mounted area (read-write)
and let multiple users use it?

Also, what is the sudo install mode meant for,
how to use it please? Sofar I've done ecverything as root.

Thank you
Alex
