request from unauthorized host


Hi,
In the sys-log from server there a lot of message like this:
Code:
Apr 25 10:38:45 server portmap[2569]: connect from 192.168.1.3 to getport(nfs): request from unauthorized host
Apr 25 10:38:46 server portmap[2570]: connect from 192.168.1.3 to getport(nfs): request from unauthorized host
192.168.1.3 is a client that want to boot from netwrok using PXE and NFS. However it doesn't boot and enters (initramfs) prompt. Seems that the server deny the connection from client.

What should I do?

Seems as your machine isn't allowing it; You might need to change your /etc/hosts.allow file to reflect your internal network, as such:
Code:
portmap : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0  : allow
Cheers,

Josh

Two side questions:
1- can I add and save that on the fly or I have to restart a service?
2- is it for current session or the next boot is ok?

Try it and if it doesn't work, then restart your service

And what do you mean for the current session? You should be able to allow the hosts and you will be good to go, unless you are having other problems.
