Make sure 'nfs-common' is installed on all the clients (I'm assuming all clients will be linux boxes),and that both 'nfs-common' and 'nfs-kernel-server' are installed on all servers. (apt-get install <file> will solve dependencies if any). 2. Modify the following files (3 of 'em) on the server; A: /etc/exports; B: /etc/hosts.allow C: /etc/hosts.deny A. /etc/exports (this is the access control list for all filesystems to be exported) e.g. to export /home as read/write to computers on 10.10.0.0 /home 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) (will give access to /home to all computers on network 10.10.0.0) (note that there must be no white space between the options!) (for explanations see man nfs) B. /etc/hosts.allow (list of hosts that are allowed to access the system). To protect your system, define specific service access. Avoid giving blanket access to all. You may use the following: portmap: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 lockd: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 mountd: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 rquotad: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 statd: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 sshd: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0 C. /etc/hosts.deny (list of hosts that are NOT allowed to access the system. ALL: ALL 3. Now force a re-read of the nfs/exportfs by issuing the following command as root: #: exportfs -ra 4. You may check that things are working ok : rpcinfo -p 5. Go to a client, and as #: mount <server>:/share <mount point>. e.g. #: mount 10.10.0.200:/home /mnt GOODLUCK!

I have followed all the stuff from nfs.sourceforge.net but I keep getting Permission Denied errors when I try to mount the Exported folder.

If I run tcpdump on the PXE/TFTP/NFS server I see the client trying to connect but it never gets connected. I do not see anything in any of my log files which would help me out either... Thanks in advance, Stephen
