Hello,
I am having trouble with NFS and XDMCP on my system. I am not sure what is
going on, or even how to troubleshoot it. Here is what seems to be
happening. I enabled XDMCP in gdm.conf. I have exported my home directory
in /etc/exports for NFS. I restart all services and everything seems to
work fine for a few days. NFS and remote X sessions all seem to be happy.
Then for what appears to be no reason, NFS and XDMCP both stop working. I
tried to track the problems down in /var/log/messages, but don't really find
anything useful. All I find that might be useful is:
Oct 18 11:23:56 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
192.168.0.108:1001 for /home (/home)
192.168.0.108 is infact my IP address, but I can't access any exported
directorys. I am using OMNI NFS client on Windows XP, and it is able to
detect the nfs server running on the linux box, and even see the exports,
but just can't mount. I have tried Labtam NFS client with the same results.
Unfortunately I am unable to get much information about the X session. I am
using Labtam Remote X session.
I should probably note that I am using Redhat 7.3 on my linux box right now,
but this problem existed in 7.0. I tried this upgrade to see if it would
fix the problem, but to no avail. After a few hours of fiddling around,
rebooting etc. both services mysteriously seem to start working again. How
do I go about tracking down this problem and fixing it?
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
James
