I can't use nfs in my internal LAN. I use the SuSE kernel 2.2.16, configured for (normal, not kernel) nfs. While the files /etc/exports and /etc/hosts.allow are configured according to the man pages, and rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are started at boot time, nevertheless the mountd server refuses the access to the directory listed in /etc/exports. In the past, with older versions of the system, I had no problems running nfs so I suppose it may be a matter of new security features, not mentioned in the man pages. The rpcinfo -p command gives: program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 545580417 1 udp 703 bwnfsd 545580417 1 tcp 705 bwnfsd 100005 1 udp 740 mountd 100005 2 udp 740 mountd 100005 1 tcp 743 mountd 100005 2 tcp 743 mountd 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs Please help !
