I'm trying to mount my home directory on my office box (5.3-RELEASE) on my home box (5.3-RELEASE) and there is _no_ _way_ I have ever been able to make this work.
/etc/exports on the NFS server is configured correctly (other exports to other boxen work fine)
my entry reads:
/usr/home/colin -mapall root 12.34.56.789 #home IP
Output of `showmount -e` is more usefull, then we can see what is actually exported. NFS is very sensitive to errors in exports. You probably don't want to use "-mapall root", but rather "-maproot=root", see exports(5). Get rid of the comment, just to be sure.
Second: What have you set in your rc.conf? Are all things up and running?
when - from the console as root - I do:
mount -v office.nfs.server:/usr/home/colin /office-box
You forgot to specify '-t nfs' or use 'mount_nfs' ?
I get rewarded with this message:
[udp] office.nfs.server:/usr/home/colin: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak
I'm coming in from the IP specified in /etc/exports on the server I'm doing it (as said above) as root I followeed the directions on: http://www.freebsddiary.org/nfs.php#mount to the letter
That article is from 1998, take a look in the handbook. And if you scrool further down, it has been updated, 18 june 2004,

Today I encounted this error for the first time. I was compiling a kernel on my fast box and while I was waiting I set up the slow box. I did this:
$ mount polo:/usr/src /usr/src
polo:/usr/src: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak
That confused me. I checked /var/log/messageson the NFS server:
mountd[95]: mount request from 10.0.0.20 from unprivileged port
Ahhh! I wasn't root when I tried to mount! I su'd to root, and all was well.
quote-end.
How...HOW do I solve this? I've been wrestling with this one simple problem forever now, and no matter what I try I cannot get my homedir mounted.
Help _really_ would be appreciated!!
I think it would help following an updated guide :-), I have had no problem exporting my /home. And, then post relevant settings from rc.conf, exports, `showmount -e` etc.
Cheers, Erik
PS: I note you are nfs-exporting across the internet, are you sure that is a good idea? Consider tunneling.
