Hi there

Having some problems to mount NFS with the right permissions.

I have the following lines in my hosts allow:

service: 192.168.1.30/255.255.255.0

portmap: 192.168.1.30
lockd: 192.168.1.30
rquotad:192.168 1.30
mountd:192.168.1.30
statd:192.168.1.30

And the following in my exports:

/home/peter 192.168.1.20(insecure,rw,nohide)

On the client machine i have added the following line:

192.168.1.20:/home/peter /home/bunny/test nfs rw,users 0 0


I can mount the directory, but only with read acces !

Can anyone see whats wrong ??

i would stronly suggest that it's down to unix file permissions. Remember that just becauase it's located on a different machine, that it isn't bound by the same issues you are used to locally... so ensure that the files do have individual permissions suitable for your user. also note that as your (correctly) NOT using the no_root_squash option, you can't use root to force a different mode on any machine but the server itself.

SuSE 9.2 and KDE seems to have the possibility to do "Home sharing" by a GUI, but i cant get it to work.


How do i give a user rw permissions to a home directory by command line ??

all down to using standard utils like chmod, but on the server side of course.
