(I'm assuming that the ``.''s after www and home aren't in the original /etc/exports file :) It looks like the security is a little broken here. You're exporting both /home and /www as (rw, no_root_squash) to the whole world (which seems a little rash) If you want to restrict NFS access of /www to apollo, you must not have a space between "apollo" and "(rw, no_root_squash)". The export(5) Linux man page is woefully underdescriptive of this fact, but look at the examples at the bottom. Its a classic one-character-wrong root compromise, mistyping: / trusted_machine(rw, no_root_squash) as / trusted_machine (rw, no_root_squash) HTH Paul. > > Try putting in the ip address of apollo instead of the name - it may not > be resolving it properly. > > > > > Also, should my apache doc root be owned by root:root? > > > > > Any help greatly appreciated, > > > > best wishes > > > > Mike > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk > > http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk > http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Millar yo-yo, n. : Particle Physics Theory Group Something that is occasionally Department of Physics and Astronomy up but normally down.
