Hi folks, I have an OpenBSD 2.8 machine that I've been building up, and is sitting on my LAN. I want to back it up, so I was intending to mount a directory from my Debain GNU/Linux (Testing with 2.4.1-ac2) onto the BSD box.
I added "/tmp" to the exports file: # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). /null localhost /tmp 192.168.13.0/255.255.255.0(rw) # Automatically added for use by cfs /.cfsfs localhost(rw) # Cryptographic Filesystem export And restared /etc/init.d/nfs-server. I went to the BSD box (narcolepsy), and ran: [narcolepsy:~]% mount rei:/tmp /mnt mount_nfs: can't access /tmp: Permission denied On my Debian box (rei), I got the following in the logs: Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: NFS mount of /tmp attempted from 192.168.13.70 Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: NFS request from narcolepsy originated on insecure port, psychoanalysis suggested Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: Blocked attempt of 192.168.13.70 to mount /tmp I didn't think that there was anything particularly strange about what I did, so I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm not sure what it means by "insecure port", and whether it's a BSD or Linux issue. I'm a lot more familiar with Linux than BSD, FWIW. I have the following in /etc/hosts.allow ALL: 192.168.13.0/255.255.255.0 which would hopefully not stop narcolepsy (192.168.13.70) to accessing it. Any suggestions or pointers to appropriate documentation would be greatly appreciated. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
