NFS server

NFS server

[Kirkwood, David A.]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Red Hat enterprise linux 4.4 to server out home directories via NFS. As a test I have disabled the firewall and put SELINUX in permissive mode. I'm attempting to mount it to a Solaris 8 system. I have the export line set as /opt *(sync,rw). I see the exports with showmount -e as I should. I watch the messages file via tail -f and I see the other system authenticated by mount, but the directory never mounts. The Solaris system mounts other unix systems fine, as well as a RH 7.3 system, so I don't think it is the problem. I tried to mount the file system of the host under the host itself. No dice. Does anyone have another suggestion of something I have forgotten? I verified that rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are both running on the server side.

Thanks in advance,

David A. Kirkwood

what address does bind portmap on your RHEL 4.4 ?
see in /etc/default/portmap or /etc/sysconfig/[something like portmap]
or do a:
# netstat -tupl
and see the adress portmap uses.
if it is 127.0.0.1 (loalhost), then this is the error.

You will need to add the following entries to your /etc/hosts.allow file:

portmap: hosts
lockd: hosts
mountd: hosts
rquotad: hosts
statd: hosts

where hosts are your NFS clients (see man hosts_access).  Earlier
versions of RedHat did not include tcpwrappers so extensively.

Cheers

Adam
