straightening out NFS

1996-06-12 Thread Rick Hawkins
I can't quite get nfs going for some reason. I had it going quickly under the 1.2 kernel (i have 2 machines sitting here). I uncommented everything in /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs. I added / to exports. I added ALL: .iastate.edu to hosts.allow. ANd the two machines give me different errors . . .

loss of routing info with 2.0.0

1996-06-11 Thread Rick Hawkins
I have compiled the 2.0.0 kernel (successfully), but lost my routing info in the process (coming from 1.3.95). "route" only shows the machine itself. If i manually add the missing router & gateway, it works fine, but i lose this on reboot. help! :) rick
