i'm testing NFS server configuration on my laptop. i'm going to list all i did just to give you an idea about the settings then i will mention the problem.
this is what is listed in /etc/exports :
/wael 192.168.2.2(rw)
this is what is listed in hosts.allow:
ALL=ALL
this is what is listed in hosts.deny:
portmap=ALL ( i didn't understand this very well , if you can explain this for me i will appriciate it )
after that i issues the command : exportfs -ra
then i did the following on the NFS server :
[root@FEDORA ~]# mount 192.168.2.2:/wael /nfs
[root@FEDORA ~]# cd /nfs
bash: cd: /nfs: Permission denied
[root@FEDORA ~]# umount /nfs
[root@FEDORA ~]# cd /nfs
[root@FEDORA nfs]#
as you see , it looks like that i'm having a security issue her. and you can notice that i can access /nfs localy when /wael is not monted to it.
Note that i'm using the NSF server as a client at the same time. i don't have another UNIX like machine for now so i have to test it on the same server.
i'm just got the information for this setup from :
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto...ml#SERVERINTRO
i don't know what exactly i'm doing wronge ... so please help
thanks
