Hi ,
Actually i want to do an NFS Mount as an ordinary user from one of the clients. In the /etc/exports file at the NFS Server i have the folllowing line.

/home/u02024 *(rw,insecure,sync,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)

When i run the following command from the client as root user , the NFS Mount is successful.

mount -t nfs 192.168.0.7:/home/u02024 /home/localwork

but when i try to run this command as an ordinary user, it says

nfs bindresvport: Permission denied



PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you must add
to /etc/fstab and do mount /home/localwork

WELL I have had already done that but still its not working.

What happens now? Is it the same error?
A normal user can't give options to the mount command, as you surely realize the enormous security implications. I you don't, here's a hint: think of a suid-root shell on a floppy/cdrom/nfs.

All ports below 1024 are "reserved": only root can bind to them.
Your NFS server appears not to be allowing people to connect on "unreserved" ports (i.e. ports above 1024.) So... you NFS server will only accept connections from root users then!

If your server is the standard linux NFS server, you can add this option to your /etc/exports:
"insecure"
Just as an example, my /etc/exports looks like this:
/northstar 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_subtree_check,sync,insecure)

I know "insecure" sounds scary, but let's face it: NFS is insecure anyway. You should only be running it on a trusted LAN, behind a firewall or NAT. So allowing clients to connect on non-reserved ports isn't such a dire security breach.
Another solution might be putting the NFS mount into your /etc/fstab file-- you can find information about doing that on the web.
