Running SUSE 9.2. Configured NFS server & attempting client via Yast. Yast configures the nfs-utils (the kernel server) as opposed to the user-space server. Following the NFS how-to, I added the following to /etc/hosts.deny: portmap : ALL lockd : ALL mountd : ALL rquotad : ALL In hosts.allow I entered same as above, but using 192.168.2.0/24 as the net address. I have done the same on the client machines as well, for good measure. I have run rcnetwork restart Problem is that the client doesn't see a server. I can ping by hostname or IP address, so /etc/hosts is configured correctly. I don't recall having the same problem in SUSE 8.0. I managed to successfully configure everything for two boxes back then. What I don't understand is why the client doesn't see the server - that is apparently correctly configured. Any ideas?
