unable to mount /home dir in a client machine
 

Hi
I have a nis server and i want to mount home directory.
in /etc/exports file i have done the following configuration
/home *(rw,sync)

chkconfig nfs on
chkconfig iptables off
chkconfig nfslock on
/sbin/rpc.statd start
service portmap start
chkconfig portmap on
chkconfig ypserv on

in vi /etc/hosts.allow
portmap : 132.0.0.0 : allow
ALL : 132.0.0.

when i mount the /home directory in a client machine
mount 132.0.0.2:/home /home

i get following error
Mount RPC: unable to receive errno=Connection refused


Can anyone help me

in /etc/exports file try this...
/home 132.0.0.0/24(rw,sync)

check...
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny..

alsoin case SELinux is enabled ... diable it with 'setenforce 0'

also post the output from 'rpcinfo -p'

best luck

Hi,
Maybe you can check that the /home is correctly exported, from you client type : showmount -e 132.0.0.2

unable to mount /home folder
 

WELL ON CLIENTMACHINE, I DID THIS

[root@delapache root]# showmount -e 132.0.0.2
Export list for 132.0.0.2:
/home 132.0.0.0/24
[root@delapache root]# mount 132.0.0.2:/home /home
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused

your rpcinfo output seems absolutely correct.
check the /var/log/messages for authentication faliures at the time you are trying to mount from client.
post that..
if you have a nis server from where you are exporting users and passwds.. check everything is OK... as nis client

your nfs server is not authenticating the incoming connection...

please check the following...
in /etc/hosts.deny, there shouldnt be nething (just for testing)...
in /etc/hosts.allow nothing should be there... (which means ur /etc/exports) is final authority in restricting...
restart xinetd... and restart portmap and also nfs daemons.. try and see what happens

ITS GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR, HOW EVER
when i restart the nfs service

[root@delnis root]# service nfs restart

read through http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/security.html
and http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/server.html

may the luck be with you ;)

Thank you kindly. This information is very useful for me. Great site! Thanks again!

Hi guys,
Hope iam not leading you people to a wrong way,
but any way, though we dont have enough option than formating linux, I think you can give me a chance too ;)

lets see..

Have you maped RPC via NIS ?

/Rinish

unable to mount /home to a client system
 

how can map RPC via NIS ?

edit "/var/yp/Makefile"
and at line number: 109

u'll find an edit like
all: passwd group hosts rpc

rpc


Here it shows what all things are maped to your network through yelllow pages (yp)

Please make sure that rpc is maped.


/Rinish

'unable to mount /home dir in a client machine'
 

i did that, but same result
