mount: localhost:/etc failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
Hi all:
Of course I'm a newbie - and I'm sure this is pretty straight forward, but here's the issue:
I have to set up a Linux System using Fedora 5 to allow remote access from an older Unix system. For security, I set up a directory with only the files that the Unix system requires access:
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir UNIX1
Now, I followed an example in from a book to set access:
[root@localhost ~]# exportfs -a
Then I initialized NFS:
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Then I followed with:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs localhost:/etc /mnt
That's when I received the following:
mount: localhost:/etc failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[root@localhost ~]#
Any ideas? Any suggestions?
