Do you mean in /etc/exports with and without no_root_squash?
Or run as root or not root?

I used no_root_squash on the export, then ran pynfs once as root and
once as a non-root user; details in that git tree if you're interested.

Yeah, it should probably be better documented.

For what it's worth, the scripts I used for my testing are in
http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=bfields/testd.git;a=tree.  I did separate
runs with and without root.
