problem getting started in nfs...
I've been trying to get nfs set up on my 3 machine lab, and have been getting all sorts of feedback from helpful people on setting it up. However, luck is not with me, and still no nfs... I have a few beginner's questions: 1) How can I tell if nfs is compiled into my kernel? 2) Based on that information, how do I a)compile it in if need be... and b)set nfs up if it is compiled already... any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance...

Re: problem: getting nfs up and running
Trying to get nfs running, but something just isn't right... What does your /etc/exports look like ? # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). /home *.ewu (rw) Do you have the portmapper running ? This is the result from running 'rpcinfo -p': program vers proto port 102 tcp111 portmapper 102 udp111 portmapper 191 udp760 yppasswdd 142 udp761 ypserv 141 udp761 ypserv 142 tcp764 ypserv 172 udp763 ypbind 172 tcp765 ypbind 151 udp946 mountd 151 tcp948 mountd 132 udp 2049 nfs 132 tcp 2049 nfs Did you try to run rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd by hand ? I did. There was no output to the screen, just a little crunching on the drive. Well, I hope this helps... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

problem: getting nfs up and running
I'm trying to get nfs to allow my users on the client machines to have access to their home directories on the server. I recently was given these helpful hints: Add this line to your server's export: /home *.your domain (rw) Then reboot, or do /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs start Add this line to your client's fstab: server's name:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,bg,intr Then do mount -a I did all this, and when I executed the nfs start, I got this message: Starting remote filesystem services: Notice that none of the nfsd,mountd,ugidd, etc..., lines are being printed to the screen. Am I missing a basic setup step? Thanks in Advance... Mike Devine Eastern Washington University -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

ongoing drama: nis problems
Through the diligent efforts of this support list, I have nearly conquered the nis problem... almost. I have the two machines (server and client) talking, but only insofar as sharing a password file. The user can't access his/her files if s/he logs in on the client machine... Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

more nis problems
My nis server crashed yesterday. I have re-set it up, following the nis.debian.howto documantation, re-added my users, and ran make in the /var/yp directory. Yet when a user tries to login from the client machine, they get this error: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: No bound server for domain my_domain How do I bind a server to my_domain? I have tried telling the client who its master is, according to nis.debian.howto. The file says to add a list of servers after the call to ypbind, like this: ypbind -S nisserver I'm not to sure what this means. I have tried adding the -S switch, followed by the server name, to a few different calls to ypbind (in the test line, in the start-stop-daemon line, even in the echo ypbind line). I also have tried to add a new command after the start-stop-daemon and test lines: ypbind -S torvalds torvalds is the server name here. I either get an illegal switch error, in the case of adding the switch, or get a another ypbind already running error, in the case of the added ypbind call. If anyone out there sees my glaring mistake, please let me know. Reply both to the list and my personal account, please. Thanks in Advance...

problem: client/server file sharing
I am running debian Linux on a two machine lab... One server, one client. I installed the nis, netbase, and netstd packages, and followed nis.debian.howto to set up my net. However, when I add users to the master machine, the client does not recognize them as valid users. Is there something I need to do in the etc/passwd file to get the client to recognize the users and passwords? Any help appreciated... Mike Devine Eastern Washington University
Problem with nis on client machine
Sorry for the continual re-posts, but I mis-stated the problem... I am not running a slave server, but rather a client machine. following the nis.debian.howto document, I need to first stop, then start nis by typing: /etc/init.d/nis stop /etc/init.d/nis start But I get a nice little message saying: /etc/init.d/nis: start-stop-daemon: command not found /etc/init.d/nis: start-stop-daemon: command not found /etc/init.d/nis: start-stop-daemon: command not found (yep, 3 times) So, I'm at the end of my rope, guess you could say I'm a dope on a rope. Thanks will be handed out in genoerous portions to anyone with any help... Mike the confused...
problrms with stop-start daemon in nis
I installed the nis, netbase, and netstd packages on the machines in my lab, and followed the nis.debian.howto in setting up the master and slave. The master seems to be doing well, but the slave cannot seem to find the start-stop daemon. Is there anything special I need to do in order to get the slave to recognize the daemon? Thanks in Advance, and please reply to this address, in addition to the list. -Mike

setting up master-slave network
I am a beginning user of Debian, and am having troubles with the start-stop daemon. I installed the nis, netbase, and netstd packages on both (yep, small net) machines, and followed the nis.debian.howto in setting up the master and slave. The master seems to be doing well, but the slave cannot seem to find the start-stop daemon. Is there anything special I need to do in order to get the slave to recognize the daemon? Thanks in Advance... Mike
