Upgraded my box from SUSE 9.0 to SUSE 9.1 RC5. It was very smooth, and all went well.
Let's say the IP address of the updated box was "110.22.330.44" Let's also say that I do the following:
#cd /
#mkdir nfsDir
#chmod 777 nfsDir
Now I switch terminals and go to a terminal that is running on a completely different, remote machine (which happens to be running SUSE 9.1 as well). Let's say it's IP address was "99.88.77.66" After logging in to the remote machine, I type the following:
#mkdir /mynfs
#mount 110.22.330.44:/nfsDir /mynfs
What I get back is:
mount: 110.22.330.44:/nfsDir failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
So my newbie question is, what steps must I perform so that the "mount 110.22.330.44/nfs /mynfs" command works?
On SUSE, you must go through YAST
select-> "NFS Server"
select->"Start NFS Server"
select->"Add directory" and then browse for the directory you want to publish.
select->"Finish"
