Hi, I'm a new linux user.....

I'm trying to share my /home/pub directory; this is my /etc/exports file:

/home/pub *(rw,insecure,sync,all_squash)

I start all nfs processes:
service nfs start

so i try to mount my file system from a sun solaris machine but i've this error:

# dfshares 10.0.20.178
RESOURCE SERVER ACCESS TRANSPORT
10.0.20.178:/home/pub 10.0.20.178 - -
# mount 10.0.20.178:/home/pub /mnt
nfs mount: 10.0.20.178:/home/pub: Permission denied

Permissions of /home/pub are 777.....Anyone could help me......

Thanks.....

This may or may not fix your problem, but......

Newer versions of Linux use NFS Version 3, which Solaris (to the best of my knowledge) does NOT support. Basically, you need to hack up your NFS server init script so that it uses NFS Version 2 instead. This is not trivial, but shouldn't be too difficult either.

You also might try looking at the logs on the NFS server, do you at least see the mount request in there? Does it give any more information?


ALso, make sure you aren't doing anything goofy with /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow .

P.S. If you have the pub permissions set to 777, why are you doing a squash_all and allowing insecure connections. Just wondering.

Please let me know if this helps.
