Hi, guys.

I hope somebody can help me with this thingie, because I can't look at Google with different variations of "nfs" in search results anymore

-
I am running suse 11.3 distro on my virtual machine , and it has nfsd (and idmapd) installed.
I try to mount nfs directory from my Win7 host, and it works.
But when I try accessing it - I get "access denied".

It seems, that idmapd should be configured somehow to authorize requests from Windows, but it doesn't. Any hints on this one?

Here's a bit of configs:
--
> more /etc/idmapd.conf

[General]

Verbosity=0
Pipefs-Directory=/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain=localNfs

[Mapping]

Nobody-User=myuser
Nobody-Group=myuser
---

> more /etc/exports
/home/myuser/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,async,insecure)

Did you install Services for Unix or how are you accessing nfs in windows?

jefro:
I have Services for NFS (Administrative Tools+Client for NFS) installed , and Subsystem for UNIX_based Applications
Then I type:
C:\mount mysuse:/home/myuser z:
And have this nfs mapped to Z:

See this for the nobody deal.

Did you run exportfs -a

Hm, the article helped.
I've defined the exports correctly before, since windows's "c:>showmount -e mysuse" ,showed me the mount list.
But when I set the suse's directory world readable/writable , there was no access denied anymore.
Seems like the problem was stupid "chmod 777 ."

Thank you.
