I have been working at a client's building for the last week trying to get NFS and NIS running. I have searched all books available to me, consulted past messages (on SLUG), reinstalled Redhat 8 from scratch, searched every facet of the web I could find. But still cannot come up with any kind of fix to get either to work.
I must explain the problems in depth a bit before anything, first NFS. I believe the server itself is fine, considering a solaris system can mount all the directories with no problems. However, as soon as I go to a client computer (which is running AIX with a version that I don't know offhand) I cannot mount any top level directories (ie /DATA ) but can mount subdirectories (ie /DATA/TRANSFER) I have set the AIX ports to force them to use the reserved ports for nfs (by adding " nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1 " to /etc/rc.tcpip ) but this still does not work. Second, NIS, I have found even less on this so I'm probably open to any suggestions. I believe I have all the files configured, but I could be missing some. Any help provided will be appreciated greatly. Rob Lundy -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
