Can't Mount NFS as Non-Root?

mrclisdue · 04-21-2006, 05:32 PM

hey all,

have googled and search these forums, but nothing quite matches.

If I try to mount nfs share as non-root, I get:

Code:

#  mount -v -t nfs 192.168.3.2:/ /mnt/tmp
mount: Unable to bindresvport TCP socket: errno 13 (Permission denied)
nfs bindresvport: Permission denied

I had been getting another error (can't quite remember, but ultimately it was illegal port), made some changes and now this error comes up.

Any ideas?

cheers,

non root users can only mount shares defined in /etc/fstab. add an entry to fstab, and use the "noauto" option to have it not mounted automatically. you would then just run "mount /mnt/tmp" to mount it as any user.

i think adding the user option will allow it to be accessible/mounted by your user too

this entry has always been in my fstab:

Code:

192.168.3.2:/		/mnt/nfs		nfs	rw,noauto,user,timeo=14,hard,intr 0 0

no success,

EDIT: my exports file:

Code:

/                              192.168.3.0/24(rw,insecure,sync)

cheers

it'll be the command you are trying to use. by specifying the FULL mount command you are implying that fstab is ignored. if you only provide the mountpoint then fstab will be used correctly.

Code:

[laptop@main ~]$ mount /mnt/nfs
nfs bindresvport: Permission denied
