Hi all

I can not mount exported directory from a server!

Details:

On Server:
its IP : 81.31.164.3
its Domain : ce.sharif.ac.ir
nfsd is running
/home is added to /etc/exports with read/write permission


On Client :
$hostname
lc1.ce.sharif.ac.ir
$domainname
ce.sharif.ac.ir
$showmount -e 81.31.164.3
/home lc*.ce.sharif.ac.ir

I add this line to fstab
81.31.164.3:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0

$mount -a
mount: 81.31.164.3:/home failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Please help me :-(
thanks in advance

I have in my export this :

home IP/MASK(rw,no_root_squash) IP/MASK(rw,no_root_squash

The important part is no_root_squash. This disables 'root squashing', a security feature that changes read/write requests from the root to requests from a guest account. You might be alright if you use a normal non-root account without no_root_squash. But then, you shouldn't be root unless absolutely neccessary.

Hope you don't have iptables filtering out NFS traffic at your client.
