I'd like to rephrase my question, please... I get "permission denied" errors when I try to mount the NFS filesystem on the server. I am logged in as root when I attempt this. I have full permission to the related directories, ie, chmod 777 * What is happening? Has NFS been loaded behind my back. I suspect not since I was unable to "Add NFS" during the RH5 install so I installed without "Adding NFS". thanks, Keith Keith von Borstel wrote: > Hi again, > > I seem to have missed the point somewhere... > > During install of RH5 I attempted to "Add NFS" and was told that the > filesystem couldn't be mounted. > I installed w/o NFS. > Next created dir's and tried to mount NFS but was told that I didn't have > correct permissions even tho I was logged in as root. Michael Jinks wrote: This sounds like a misconfiguration on the machine which is exporting the NFS resource. What does your /etc/hosts.allow look like on the exporting machine? How about its /etc/exports? Root access on the importing machine doesn't have anything to do with getting the proper access on the remote machine. ___________________ ~ Keith - http://foothill.net/~keithvb e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Susan - http://foothill.net/~susanvb e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
