-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I need to set up an nfs server on one of my machines, and so far I've been pretty unsuccessful ;( I'd like to access the nfs shares with some macOSX and a linux box. I followed the guidelines in both the linux and freeBSD nfs howtos, but to no avail. This is my setup: - ------------ /etc/exports: /mnt/music -mapall=nobody -alldirs,quiet -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /mnt/wd2 -mapall=nobody -alldirs,quiet -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /mnt/wd1 -mapall=nobody -alldirs,quiet stilgar lusitania localhost - ------------ root@lusitania# rpcinfo -p program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 3 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 2 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 4 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 3 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 2 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 4 local 111 rpcbind 100000 3 local 111 rpcbind 100000 2 local 111 rpcbind 100005 1 udp 976 mountd 100005 3 udp 976 mountd 100005 1 tcp 761 mountd 100005 3 tcp 761 mountd 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs - ------------- - ------------- those are the error messages I receive from either the localhost or the linux box (stilgar) root@lusitania# mount localhost:/mnt/wd1 /mnt/stick/ [udp6] localhost:/mnt/wd1: Permission denied [udp] localhost:/mnt/wd1: Permission denied - ------ stilgar ~ # mount -t nfs lusitania:/mnt/wd1/ /mnt/tmp/ mount: lusitania:/mnt/wd1/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied - ------------- and finally /var/log/messages: Jan 22 11:00:11 lusitania mountd[413]: mount request denied from 192.168.1.104 for /mnt/wd1 Jan 22 11:01:29 lusitania mountd[413]: mount request denied from ::1 for /mnt/wd1 Jan 22 11:01:29 lusitania mountd[413]: mount request denied from 127.0.0.1 for /mnt/wd1 - ------------- everything described in the linux nfs howto (http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/troubleshooting.html) under section 7.3.a works fine though. - -------------- Somebody from the freeBSD mailing list suggested that I use a very simple example like /mnt/music -ro and watch out for any messages from mountd in the system log while reloading mountd. There are none though and showmount -e lusitania doesn't show any exports either. does anybody have an idea what could be the cause for this behaviour? many thanks in advance, cheers David
