Yes this is VERY significant. I asked you whether or not your system was open for action on PORTS 111 and 2049.
And I answered:
Interestingly, a portscanner does *not* show anything on 2049 on the AS/400 (nor in the services listing), although 111 is there. But older SuSE's (e.g. 6.3) can connect properly!
You may have to get the nfs daemon to listen on port 111. Or use port option for mount. Try (and I haven't tested it) mount -t nfs node:/ /directory port=111
The AS/400 *is* listening on 111. The issue is TCP vs. UDP, not port number. The comm trace I took on the AS/400 shows both failing and succeeding attempts coming in on 111. IBM later called back and said that they do not support NFS mounts over TCP on the AS/400, only UDP. I tried "mount -o udp weyco400:/ /mnt/weyco400" and still get the same error: pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Procedure unavailable mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused A comm trace of this attempt shows that the connection is being attempted with TCP despite the "-o udp" option. This is important enough to the company that at this point I am leaning toward banning 7.0 on production machines in our shop. -- ____________________________________________________________ Glenn Holmer gholmer@weycogroup.com Programmer/Analyst phone: 414.908.1809 Weyco Group, Inc. fax: 414.908.1601 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
