I have both the NFS server and client working, but not correctly. Here is the exports file from the server: ----------------exports---------------- # See exports(5) for a description. # This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers. # It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd. /home (rw) /tmp (rw) And I am mounting the /home in the fstab of the other box: ----------------fstab----------------/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 firewall:/home /home nfs timeo=14,intr The problem I have is this: When I access .xinitrc (and I assume any of the .<filename> files), the thing locks up on me. On the server, I can access the file fine. When I say access I mean 'cat .xinitrc', I can 'cat' some script files I created just fine. Is my NFS setup wrong? How do I fix this?
