Re: NFS nightmare

[Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith@ieee.org>]

There are countless details to verify.

1) services:
client (portmap, nfslock)
server (portmap, nfslock, nfs)

2) TCP wrappers:
server (/etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny)

3) Firewalls:
client - will typically work
server - will typically have issues with portmapper
(dynamically assigned incoming ports - hence the name, portmapper)

4) Utilities
rpcinfo will show you server/client info on portmapper
showmounts will help you discover exports
exportfs (use -r not -a on subsequent changes to /etc/exports)

That's a brief overview.

Subj:  NFS nightmare

okay.  i have read the LDP's "NFS How-To," and that didn't help.  i did 
everything it said.  however, there were some improvements.

    * my computer now logically knows that i have shared my desired
      folders.  to the best of my knowledge, that is.  when i typed in
      (as root) exportfs -a, i did not recieve any errors.

however, there was a problem

    * on the client computer ... it is merely saying the server is down.


my computers domain is 192.168.0.1 (standard stuff), and the IP address 
is 101.  my client computer is 100.  my computer's name 
(localhost.locadomain) is fc3-bentley.  i'm trying to connect with the 
following

    * mount 192.168.0.0:/portney/mp3 /mnt/mp3
          o server is down
    * mount 192.168.0.101:/portney/mp3 /mnt/mp3
          o server is down
    * mount fc3-bentley:/portney/mp3 /mnt/mp3
          o can't get address
