Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) _______________________________________________ Hiyee Linuxers here's somethin for all of ya, Just recently i hav been havin some probs with remote installation of Linux using the NFS mode of installlation. The installatio in general that i am talking abt is a stock installation of both SuSE and RedHat. Atleast on SuSE i am using the "nfsserv-2.2beta47-50" NFs server package. My /etc/exports fils looks as follows. #begin /etc/exports # See exports(5) for a description. # This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers. # It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd. #/cdrom *(ro) /cdrom 192.168.1.2(rw,no_root_squash) #end Many a time when i share this partition over the network & try mounting it using the BOOT diskette, the host machine(192.168.1.1) where this NFS partition is being exported from complains somethin like the following; "Illegal access from 192.168.1.2". Now doesn't this seem a bit too funny. If you'll might notice even the 1st line of the /etc/exports file doesn't work thats why i had to make the 2nd entry into this file. But this ain't the end of the story, around a week later when i decided to move onto reiserfs on SuSE it just worked with no probs of illegal mounting being thrown on 192.168.1.1(i.e the NFS server). This prob was also reported to me by some of my peers to whom i gave the idea of remote installation of Linux over the network. Bye for now & Have a nice day. ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== ( >- Trevor Warren - LINUX, It's all about CHOICE. -< ) /~\ http://www.trevorwarren.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] /~\ | \) *** !!!
