No it's not a bug.. the code to guess the user/group type as LDAP is just not implemented yet. So as Openfiler doesn't know about it, it says "Unknown". > Besides, when I try to mount Openfiler NFS shares I get the following error > > mount: OpenfilerIP:/mnt/test failed, reason given by server: Permission > denied > > and in /var/log/messages on the server where I'm trying to mount the > share I get > > rpc.mountd: mount request from unknown host MYIP for /mnt/test (/mnt/test) > > I assume this issue is connected with user authentication (btw, how do I > specify user details when I mount NFS shares ?). > Are you mounting shares? You seem to be mounting the entire volume group (/mnt/test) where I assume "test" is your volume group. Openfiler obviously won't allow that. Access control is done on a per-share basis and only shares are exported. Try mounting the share instead of the entire volume group :) You don't need to specify user details when you mount NFS shares. Your effective uid/gid is used when you access files and directories. Both your Openfiler server and client machines must use the same user-directory server if you are using controlled access. Both boxes should show the same uid/gids for users. If you are not familiar with NFS, please read a howto. I also suggest the following O'Reilly book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/nfs/ Mukund _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
