No I checked this, they are the same. They where originally 777 on the client
and 775 on the server but I now changed them to 775 on both machines. No
change in the problem.

What do you mean here?
There is an entry in etc/hosts on the server for the name and IP of the client.
/etc/exports is correct and /etc/host.allow grants client all privledges to
the client my IP. Is there something else?
Also, I have yet to hear from anyone successfully mounting 6.2 NFS shares on a
7.1 system. Could this be the problem? I'll repeat mounting with the client
server roles reversed works fine.
####################### Original Question ##############################
Ok list,
I need some help.
I have a laptop running RedHat 6.2. I am trying to mount directories via NFS.
Now I do not want to do this if the laptop is not on my local LAN, so I am not
starting NFS in my boot scripts. I am starting it manually. The tower onto
which I am mounting the laptop directory is running RedHat 7.1. The laptop is
valencia, the tower is zaragoza.
Ok first here is my /etc/exports
##############################################################################
home/jna/ zaragoza.andante.mn.org(rw,no_root_squash)
##############################################################################
The first try I did
[root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/ mnt/valencia
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
at that point I realized that I was not starting NFS on the laptop so I did
[root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
[root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
now I get
[root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/ mnt/valencia
mount: valencia:/home/jna failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
what permissions are we talking about???? The permissions on the mount point
are 777. The permissions on valencia:/home/jna are standard 755. I mount
in the reverse zaragoza to valencia just fine with the same permissions.
What am I missing
All comments welcome.
