Sorry for not including more info but after posting here I initiated a
a discussion on the `networking' list. (or maybe first posted there).
My problem is the other way round... not exporting a zfs share but
mounting a share offered by a linux server.
The export line on the server was originally as below:
/pub 192.168.0.1/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Attempting to mount it invoked this error message (wrapped for mail):
# mount -F nfs -o ro 192.168.0.2:/pub /pub
nfs mount: security mode does not match the server \
exporting 192.168.0.2:/pub
Jamec C. On the Networking list found a bug report for redhat linux
that indicated the problem is a difference in the linux and solaris
implementation of NFS and further that adding this option would allow
the mount:
`sec=sys'
And it does. So got past that. Now I'm trying to figure out how to
get the mount to be writable by my user `reader'.
The mount point is owned by that user. but the mounted fs ends up
UID 1000 GID staff.
My users is not allowed to write there.
I stumbled through mount_nfs and didn't really see options that would
allow root to make the mount and set permissions such that my user
could write there.
So I thought maybe that user could invoke the mount to begin with but
that causes this error:
mount -F nfs 192.168.0.2:/pub /pub
nfs mount: insufficient privileges
The mount point on client and the mounted fs on server are owned by
the same user `reader:wheel' on both ends.
I'm very ignorant of the various security mechanisms on solaris with
profiles and roles etc... so haven't seen how to make this happen.
