Dear folks, i am trying to get my windows boxes access nfs directly by means of SFU, too! I would like to have a global mount, say drive g: to mount from my home directories.
Is it possible? How have you been doing in order to get a global drive mapping? Thanks in advance. On 5/14/07, David Higgs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've tried to configure NFS and am nearly all the way there, but it seems like I've hit a pretty big stumbling block. I've got OpenBSD 4.1-stable (10.0.0.1) with an NFS export of my home directory. I also have a Windows XP machine (10.0.0.2) and installed the SFU 3.5 NFS client. [/etc/exports] /home/david -mapall=david:guest -network=10.0.0.0 -mask=255.255.255.0 I can successfully mount this share locally and perform both reads and writes. Without any of SFU's User Name Mapping configured, I can mount the share with uid/gid of -2/-2 as advertised. Appropriately, I cannot access any files or directories that are not world-readable. However, inside a chmod-777 directory, I cannot create files or directories (which might be as expected). After configuring User Name Mapping to map my Windows account to the UNIX account, I can mount the share with the expected uid/gid. Although I can read user-only files and directories, I still cannot create any files or directories. Windows keeps reporting that the drive has write-protection enabled. I know this isn't a SFU help forum, but any ideas to try or tips on troubleshooting the NFS side is more than welcome. Thanks in advance. --david P.S. On an unrelated sidenote, does mountd always bind to the same ports by default? If not, is there a way to fix them at certain values, so that PF rules can be written to match? Linux rpc.mountd(8) supposedly has a -p option that can be used for this purpose.
