I'm trying to get NFS working between two PCs hooked up with a paralell cable. The networking itself seems to work: ping, telnet and FTP work as expected. I can mount the root directory of the second PC (judy) on the first (kilu), but not the other way around. The error I get is:
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered As far as I can tell the configuration on both sides is equivalent: kilu:/etc/exports: / judy (ro) judy:/etc/exports: / kilu (ro) kilu: ps -axu | grep rpc: daemon 118 0.0 0.7 832 368 ? S 21:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.portm root 167 0.0 0.9 888 440 ? S 21:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd root 169 0.0 0.9 852 432 ? S 21:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mount judy: ps -axu | grep rpc: daemon 108 0.0 2.4 832 368 ? S 21:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.portm root 129 0.0 3.1 892 472 ? S 21:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd root 131 0.0 2.9 860 448 ? S 21:06 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mount There is some difference in the output of rpcinfo, but I'm told that's harmless (I'll include it here for completeness): kilu: rpcinfo -p: program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 770 mountd 100005 2 udp 770 mountd 100005 1 tcp 773 mountd 100005 2 tcp 773 mountd judy: rpcinfo -p: program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 732 mountd 100005 2 udp 732 mountd 100005 1 tcp 735 mountd 100005 2 tcp 735 mountd Both systems have been installed from the same CD (Debian 1.3.1); the kernel configuration options concerning networking are equal. I can mount judy on kilu with: kilu: mount judy:/ /mnt -t nfs ...but going the other way: judy: mount kilu:/ /mnt -t nfs .. gives the above error (no matter what order I do the commands, or start up the PCs). Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? What does "RPC: Program not registered" mean?
