Hi CLUG, Please could you help me.I have managed to get NIS to work and have moved on to try and export my /home directory using NFS. I am running mandrake 8.1 on the server and 8.2 on the client. NFS is installed on both computers.
I have added the following line to /etc/exports (on the server) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.255(rw) and NFS starts without any errors. so far so good.... The client machine is another story. I altered the "/home" line in /etc/fstab to 192.168.0.1:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 Now when I reboot i cannot load the NFS /home. The client machine has nothing in /etc/exports. The NIS domina is mynis.org .The servers IP is 192.168.0.1 and the clients IP is 192.168.0.5 (and now you know enough to crack/hack my LAN...) . NFS was installed using RPMS provided on teh Mandrake CD's. I have tried (as root): # mount 192.168.0.1:/home /mnt/home And I got an error. I have read the NHF how-to (so please dont tell me the answers are in it) Please help, Paul
