Accessing other linux file systems in Linux

John VV · 06-22-2010, 10:31 PM

have given 777
--------
777 is a bad idea ( you just gave THE WHOLE WORLD root access to the files
- the system crackers will be happy-

mostlikely ONLY the user needs changing

different distros use DIFFERENT numbers .
For example CentOS and fedora use 500 as THE FIRST user account ( 501 as the second user) .
Arch uses 1000 as the FIRST user account .
some distros also use "uuid" for drives and mounting .

we still do not know what OS's you are using

Hi All,

it seems firewall is throwing that connection refused message, for this have issued

service iptables stop on outports system and it seems able to connect now but throwoing the below -

[root@CUSTOMERCARE root]# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.202:/usr/outports_dir /mnt/outports_usr
mount: RPC: Timed out

Not sure why timed out is getting displayed, even though both the servers are sitting next to each other.

Thanks
Raaj

In /etc/hosts.allow, you need to specify what machines can access these specific programs.

Note - NFS is running on both the systems, please help

I've had this problem a few times too.
If i can remember, disabling SELinux solved my problem.

Maybe you can fix this with changing your firewall config.

Not on the actual directory, but in the NFS configuration on the server you are trying to connect to. Try following something like this http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nfs.htm have do done all those steps? cehck the NFS configuration file in /etc
