When i apple-K, i use nfs://192.168.1.111/shared which is the sharepoint for my share. I also try /home/brian which is my user home folder, but still get the 'incorrect username or password' message. I can also use automount, and it recognizes the NFS server, but the folder comes up as an invalid alias.
is there anyway to distinguish between using NFSv4 and NFSv3 (or lower)? I know i can get NFSv3 to work when connecting my mac to my Ubuntu machine, but i always had problems with NFSv4. Is there a way to make sure i'm using v3 to connect? I think it will get rid of the problems. Also, in ubuntu there is an option on NFS to have it use an insecure port (which the mac uses) and this is the only way to get it to work. Is there an option to turn on with SXCE to turn the secure port off? Am i explaining that correctly? I know i always have to use the -insecure option when creating an NFS share on ubuntu for it to allow my mac to connect. I am no expert at all on this, which is why i'm asking in here. I read the man page on sxce about the sharemgr but have not been able to get it working still. And many tutorials assume prior in-depth knowledge of the innerworkings of solaris, of which i do not know. I am slowly working it out but i'm just looking for any kind of tutorial that might go from a-z on setting up NFS and getting it to work with mac os x.5. thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
