Hi all, I´ve read other threads on this and posted some of my problems. As it stands i am stuck, so forgive me for starting a new thread in what i think is the right section.
My aim is to share my backup folder to the other computers on my home network. The location of this folder is home/backup on the server machine. I have installed nfs to the server via...... sudo apt-get install nfs-common portmap nfs-kernel-server I have installed nfs to the client via...... sudo apt-get install nfs-common portmap My desktop is the server machine 192.168.1.2 My laptop is the client machine 192.168.1.3 I have edited etc/exports to share /home/backup /home/backup 192.168.1.3(rw,sync,no_root_squash) I would like to know if i have done everything properly on the server and client machine. Because i got the error bellow when i try to mount the nfs partition on the client side. $ sudo mount 192.168.1.2:/home/backup /mnt/nfs $ mount.nfs: 192.168.1.2:/home/backup failed, reason given by server: Permission denied i can ping between each machine. I believe the permission is denied because both machines don´t have each other listed at /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny Is that possible? and how to add them properly? i tried to add them but it doesn´t work either. please help, iuri -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
