NFS directory access problem


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

first check it

#ls -l /wael

rw---------

then its permission problem
so use this command for permissions


#chmod 777 /wael

#mount -t nfs 192.168.2.2:/wael /mnt

#cd /mnt
#ls -l


ok
take care
bye
