I have installed NFS on two machines (called "poblano" and "chipotle"), each with both a server and a client. Both machines run oS v11.1 with KDE3. On poblano, the My Computer disk information list contains the line: "Remote Share (chipotle:/home)". Same on chipotle, with the substitution of the poblano name. On chipotle, when I click on this line to enter the shared directory, Konqueror shows a blank window with "media:/home" in the Location window. A dialog window appears reading "Permissions denied". I do not know what permissions it means. Doing the same on poblano also produces the blank window, but the dialog window is present for only an instant, and disappears. When I close the window Yast > Network Services > NFS Client in poblano, there is an error message: "Unable to mount the NFS entries from /etc/fstab". The NFS line in fstab is"chipotle /home /nfs/chipotle/home nfs rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0". This does not happen on chipotle, which contains exactly the same line in fstab except of the name substitution. I believe the servers are working properly. Here is the result of running <rcpinfor -p> on poblano (running it on chiplotle yields a similar result)". ***** # rpcinfo -p program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 4 udp 111 portmapper 100000 3 udp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100005 1 udp 49986 mountd 100005 1 tcp 51660 mountd 100005 2 udp 49986 mountd 100005 2 tcp 51660 mountd 100005 3 udp 49986 mountd 100005 3 tcp 51660 mountd 100024 1 udp 42007 status 100024 1 tcp 45664 status 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 42904 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 42904 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 42904 nlockmgr 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 tcp 49781 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 49781 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 49781 nlockmgr ***** I interpret this as meaning that the servers are in order. On both machines, the firewall is open for NFS, NFS-Client, and NFS-Server-Service. Both start at boot time. In poblano, the client configuration points to the chipotle server, /home, /nfs/chipotle/home mounting point, nfs type, with options rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192. NFSv4 is disabled. Same for the other machine, except that the mounting point is /nfs/poblano/home. On both machines, /etc/exports contains only a single line: "/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,root_squash,sync,subtree_check,nohide)". -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
