[Buildroot] root permissions issue (reformatted)

[dan robinson <dgrobinson@dgrobinson.com>]

I have an NFS mounted root.  The directory, on the NFS server, does not have
write permissions for 'other'.  I am not able to create a file when I run
the command, 'touch one'.  On the NFS server side, I run 'chmod o+w' and
that is shown in the second 'ls' command.  I can create a file.

If I 'su' to default, I can create files in that user's directory.

Note that the file, 'one', is owned by 65534.  I have included the
/etc/passwd file.  This is -2 in 16 bits.  Noteworthy?

I ran the 'id' command.
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),10(wheel)

Ideas?
