I'm unclear as to which server is doing what, however: * The server that _has_ the files will be the NFS server. * Any system that accesses those files across the network is an NFS client.

I don't know if the sysctl "vfs.usermount" would apply in the case of NFS or not; it does for floppies and CDROM's, I think. You might try it; good luck!

Hmm, at first it is... You cannot mount filesystems (even not NFSs) as regular user. Well, you can, but you have to be the owner of the mountpoint directory and have set (as superuser or during startup (/etc/sysctl.conf)) the sysctl vfs.usermount to 1. The '-maproot=SOMEID' is for the NFS server which tells him to what userid incoming ID=0 requests will be mapped. Usually you don't want to let everybody who identifies him as ID=0 erase your root file system! So User ID=0 is invalid in NFS until you map it to any other (or the same) ID!

Re: NFS question
The only things that come to mind here are to make sure rcp/portmapper is running, make sure you have all of the appropriate _enable="YES" messages in rc.conf, and to reboot. That last isn't required, you can -HUP all of the processes involved, but this way you see what happens upon reboot too.

NFS question
Quick question regarding NFS. Is it possible to mount a NFS share if portmapper isn't running on the server? The remote machine is running a Linux 2.4 kernel. I'm using OpenBSD 3.5. The BSD version of mount (or mount_nfs) doesn't seem to accept an argument for ports, or at least mount_port. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In the last episode (Nov 04), Dan Mahoney, System Admin said: > Is there any way of knowing who is actively using NFS shares, or who > has mounted partitions from it? NFS is stateless so there's no need for the server to keep track of who has mounted a volume. The "showmount" command will print a list of machines the server thinks is accessing it, but the list may not be complete. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
