I'm trying to learn as I go and it's not easy! I thought being able to set up
a basic windows network made me ready for this!!! What was I thinking?
I have installed redhat 7.3 as my server software and I installed KDE as a
desktop, but the machine boots into Text mode. I installed a GUI so that if
(like now) I get stuck, I can use GUI tools to configure things and them jump
back into console and Vi the files created by the GUI tools.
But I have a problem at the moment. I have created an export file and listed
the files I want to export, ie;
/public (rw,insecure,all_squash)
But when I try to mount them I get RPC portmapper failure messages. I have run
rpcinfo -p on all machines and get the following output;
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32768 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status
391002 2 tcp 32769 sgi_fam
Except on Kate's (my wife) Mandrake install, whcih says RPC failure,
connection refused. I set the permissions to r w x and owner "nobody" group
"nobody" on the exported files.
Where have I gone wrong? Okay, I admit that the "where have gone right " is a
shorter answer.
One sentence pointers are fine ... please help.
Thanks Mick
