Consider tunneling. I tried googling on that, I wasn't successful in finding anything relevant to FreeBSD, most of the stuff seems to be highly Linux specific. It's a good idea, and one I'd like to do, but first I'd just like to be able to prove it works...then work upwards to tunneling Just a thought here, I'm behind an ADSL router, should I be port forwarding some-port-or-other? This should be *so* simple, clearly I'm overlooking something - and knowing me - something obvious. Sorry for the delay in responding, but at least now I found my missing mail off the dead server. -Colin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NFS mount issue
Hi all, I feel as if I've been grappling with this problem for months (I have, at least for 2 months AFAIK) I'm trying to mount my home directory on my office box (5.3-RELEASE) on my home box (5.3-RELEASE) and there is _no_ _way_ I have ever been able to make this work. /etc/exports on the NFS server is configured correctly (other exports to other boxen work fine) my entry reads: /usr/home/colin -mapall root 12.34.56.789 #home IP when - from the console as root - I do: mount -v office.nfs.server:/usr/home/colin /office-box I get rewarded with this message: [udp] office.nfs.server:/usr/home/colin: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak I'm coming in from the IP specified in /etc/exports on the server I'm doing it (as said above) as root I followeed the directions on: http://www.freebsddiary.org/nfs.php#mount to the letter I HUP'd mountd on the server just to be sure /var/log/messages on the server said (yes, you guessed it) Jan 8 15:50:37 boxen mountd[393]: mount request from 12.34.56.789 from unprivileged port How...HOW do I solve this? I've been wrestling with this one simple problem forever now, and no matter what I try I cannot get my homedir mounted. Help _really_ would be appreciated!!
