I have two RHEL Machines rh1 and rh2.I tried to creat rh1 as NFS Server and edited /etc/exports as:
Code:
/home/fdmin/arch *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
And exports -a worked without any error.
Restarted nfs
Showmount -e localhost showing good.
I tried running this on rh2
It says:
Code:
# mount -t nfs rh1:/home/fdmin/arch /tmp/res
mount: rhn1:/home/fdmin/arc/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
#
Showmount -e rh1 worked and shows fine on rh2 but rh2 is not able to mount rh1.
Also, If I try making rh2 as server and rh1 as client it works fine.
Why does the first setup doesnt work?
Is the firewall/selinux enabled on either host? Are you using tcp_wrppers? Is there any other firewall in the picture (cisco or any other hardware firewall)?
That's normal for *nix. If you issue a basic cmd and it works, there's normally no output.
what we need is
iptables -L
on both systems when iptables is up. Mind you if it doesn't work after you've stopped iptables on BOTH systems, then its not an iptables issue.
Have checked tcp_wrappers (hosts.allow, hosts.deny) in /etc ?
Use
service iptables stop
on BOTH systems and try again. If it doesn't work, show us hosts.allow, hosts.deny from BOTH systems. Saying they are 'hashed' is meaningless!
(They are plain text files)
