RE: NFS Setup/Configuration (WORKING)
SPIDAS ! YOU DA'MAN !!! Thank you SO much...I followed your steps and they worked PERFECTLY !!! Not to mention...you little tutorial here is better than anything I looked at on the net. You hit every piece DEAD-ON. I can not thank you enough...

RE: NFS Setup/Configuration
I have not thought of this but I am logged in with root from my workstation which does in fact have the same password as the one on the NFS server. Also, I checked my PORTMAP file and it is not listening on the loopback address (127.0.0.1). That line is in fact commented out. -Stephen -Original Message- From: Jesus Arocho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 5:59 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: NFS Setup/Configuration On Thursday 16 November 2006 12:36, Stephen Yorke wrote: All, I have been trying to setup NFS on my home Debian systems.

Re: NFS Setup/Configuration
I have had an ongoing issue with the later versions of mount which was claimed to have been fixed in bug 354075: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354075 I have held mount at version 2.12r-6 as anything later refuses to work with my NFS server, also running Sid. The latest version I've tried is 2.12r-12 on 25 Oct and I even tried with the (then) latest kernel, 2.6.18 on the laptop (the server was at 2.6.18) and found no change. I would like to hear from anyone who is experiencing the same problem. As an aside, I am running Shorewall on the server and Firehol on the laptop to configure Netfilter. Still, disabling both firewalls has no effect for me on the failure. Surely, I can't be the only one in the Debian Universe with this problem. ;-) - Nate -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @| a GNU generation! http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
