Hi Michael. I think you've got the right idea with the NFS mounts.
First though, your are correct in that the IP of the NT system is 10.0.0.1
(it's an isolated network, so it doesn't matter.) I can ping, FTP, telnet,
etc. between the NT and Linux systems so the network connectivity is OK.
The first thing I did was add the "insecure" option to the /etc/exports
file and that didn't make any difference. Same error on the NT side. Then
I changed the IP to * from 10.0.0.1 in the /etc/exports file. No
difference. Tried the "internal mount" using the * and:
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -t nfs 10.0.0.5:/home/pdunphy /mnt/tmp
It failed . . . with a "Permission denied" error. Hmmm! Changed the *
to 10.0.0.5 in the /etc/exports file (10.0.0.5 is the IP of the Linux
system.) Tried the above again and it worked! /mnt/tmp now contains the
contents of /home/pdunphy . . .
So, it appears that it's working and it is down to a permissions thing
again. The curiousity is that, in /etc/exports
/home/pdunphy *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)
will not mount internally (Permission denied) but
/home/pdunphy 10.0.0.5(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)
works fine. Given this, I would have thought simply replacing 10.0.0.5 with
10.0.0.1 (NT system's IP) would have worked, but no go. At least we've
proven that the nfs daemon is working. I'm kind of lost as to where I go
from here . . . the internal mount, I thought, should have worked with * as
well as the explicit IP address. And, if an explicit IP address is required,
then it should work with an external system. As I said, progress. Any other
thoughts?
Regards, Paul
