[newbie] Setup NFS access?
Yo peeps;
I'm trying to set up an NFS server on my Mandrake 9.2 server with client
access from a SuSE 9.1 box. Here's what I did on the server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ ssh sipca.org
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]$ su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]# vi /etc/exports
snip
Added /var/www/html sipca.org(ro,root_squash)
/snip
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]# exportfs -r
exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export
*:/home/eric.
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
exportfs: /etc/exports [3]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export
sipca.org:/var/www/html.
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]#
On the SuSE box I got:
linux:/mnt # mount -t nfs sipca.org:/var/www/html /mnt/athlonxp
pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Timed out
mount: sipca.org:/var/www/html failed, reason given by server: Permission
denied
I'm new to NFS... and all this I just tried from a googled howto. Any help?
Thanx,
ES

Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system
running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.4) and KMail 1.62. I aslo run Red Hat
Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake
Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various
systems and architectures for various reasons. Yeah, and there's a old Mac
OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP
box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz
they aren't real OS's. Who me? Biased? Nah!

Are you running a firewall? If so you need to open port 111 and also make sure
the portmapper service is running.
BTW: The easy way for newbies to set up NFS servers is to use the 'NFS Mount'
GUI in Mandrake Control Centre. It works over an ssh link. Just start 'mcc'
from your ssh shell.

Whelp I don't have a firewall... and I don't know about you but my MCC only
lets me mount servers with NFS Mounts, not create them. Am I missing
something? My entire /etc/exports file is as follows:
/home/eric *(rw)
/var/www/html *(rw)
It says permission denied when I try to access. Any help?

NFS is certainly NOT the way to go for easy/fast web maintainance, that was

If you use Quanta to manage your web pages then you can easily synchronise to
your web server using sftp The only thing you need on the server is to be
running an ssh server.
Konqueror is also real nice to use with sftp. Just enter
fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/folder in the URL line of Konqueror
('fish' is included by default in Mandrake, but I am not sure if Suse includes
it)
