Hi, after a few attempts I finally managed to get it working. My entry in the /etc/exports file was: /home/mydir (ro,no_root_squash) I used the command exportfs -a that suggested to add an '*' for the hosts and therefore I changed the entry as follows: /home/mydir *(ro,no_root_squash) I tried again to mount the exported directory and it worked perfectly.

Hi,
thank you for the answer. I added the line to etc/hosts.allow as you suggested, but I still got the same error.
I have then tried to start manually:
portmap rpc.mountd rpc.nfsd rpc.lockd
and, after that, I got another message:
mount: localost:/home/mydir failed, reason given by the server: Permission denied
Any suggestions are welcome
Thank you and best regards

Hi,
When I installed NFS, I also added the following line in /etc/hosts.allow : rpc.mountd : ip.address.of.the.client

Hello,
I have tried to use NFS and I made some tests on a single machine as
follows:
a) I have added an entry to the /etc/exports file for my home directory b) I have created a new directory /mnt/nfs to test if I could mount my
export
c) I have tried the mount command as follows:
mount - t nfs localhost:/home/mydir /mnt/nfs
The command does not succed and I receive the following message:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive : errno=Connection refused
Can you please suggest what is the cause of the message and what I should do to correct the problem ?
Thank you and best regards
