I have been around UNIX long enough to have checked such a trivial solution.
/var/log/messages shows the following entry Apr 1 19:32:02 valencia kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Apr 1 19:32:09 valencia mountd[647]: refused mount request from zaragoza.andante.mn.org for /home/jna (/): no export entry showing the problem is not reading the /etc/exports file as expected. The nfs kernel module is getting loaded but it is not correctly reading /etc/exports I repeat the original question (without the typo). ####################################################### Ok list, I need some help. I have a laptop running RedHat 6.2. I am trying to mount directories via NFS. Now I do not want to do this if the laptop is not on my local LAN, so I am not starting NFS in my boot scripts. I am starting it manually. The tower onto which I am mounting the laptop directory is running RedHat 7.1. The laptop is valencia, the tower is zaragoza. Ok first here is my /etc/exports ############################################################################## /home/jna zaragoza.andante.mn.org(rw,no_root_squash) ############################################################################## The first try I did [root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/mnt/valencia mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused at that point I realized that I was not starting NFS on the laptop so I did [root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd [root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd now I get [root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/mnt/valencia mount: valencia:/home/jna failed, reason given by server: Permission denied what permissions are we talking about???? The permissions on the mount point are 777. The permissions on valencia:/home/jna are standard 755. I mount in the reverse zaragoza to valencia just fine with the same permissions. What am I missing All comments welcome. ####################################################### Thanks john ------------------------------------ John N.
