Permission denied when access linux from windows through NFS implementation

red_colt · 08-09-2005, 05:03 AM

I'm making an implementation of NFS in windows. my client program uses the NFS protocol to gain access to an NFS server. the portmap protocol was able to return a valid port but when i used the mount protocol with no authentication specified, i was given a no permission error. my objective is to get the mount protocol the return a valid file handle that i can use to browse the nfs server.

can anybody help? tnx.

Perhaps you need to set up proper authentication. Or really, setting up a uid to be passed to the NFS server.

i just read the nfs specification and the null authentication is used only for null calls.

i tried using the unix authentication and passed a UID = 0 which is the root so that i can have root access. i already configured the /etc/exports file

/ my_machine(rw,no_root_squash)

and rebooted the system. but still i get i permission denied.
