Hi there,<br><br>Alright, curiosity got the best of me and despite the fact that GRASS is now installed remotely, I fired it up locally and pointed it to the remote DB. Worked like a charm, I was able to see all of my data and do the things that I had wanted to before. Thanks for the tips! I think I'll stick to working remotely, though, since I can leave processes running while I'm out and about with my computer. Nonetheless, it's good to know :)<br>

</div>we use sshfs extensively on our heterogeneous computational cluster<br>
instead of NFS (fun with MPI). It works very well, although our network<br>
infrastructure is old enough not to make the extra ssh overhead the<br>
limiting factor on I/O.<br>
<br>
I always use 'sshfs -o idmap=user', the main trouble I've had with<br>
newer releases is that if the remote dir is a symlink you must add a<br>
trailing '/' or else it fails with a non-helpful error message. GRASS<br>
over the sshfs link works fine, although my username is typically the<br>
same both local and remote; while the UIDs are typically all over the<br>
place due to the heterogeneity/provenance of the system.<br>
<br>
I just tried with a local user name different that the remote one, GRASS<br>
all works fine over the sshfs link, no permissions problem since the local<br>
file system now thinks your local user owns all those files.<br>
<br>
<br>
