Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
My best advise would be to double or triple check the permissions and the ownership.

You can set access via the sharenfs property. For instance, # zfs set sharenfs=...@192.168.1.0/24 foo will allow read/write access to the 192.168.1.0 subnet. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
To many questions... Authentication - nothing. I struggled to find any information of how NFS access control works. For some reason the NFS shares are accessible from the Macs but not from the Windows PC. I very much suspect its something to do with permissions on the file. I have no LDAP, AD or anything. For SMB I would usually have to set up user and passwords and grant access to shares, printers etc.. For NFS I could not figure out how to one does the same thing but as I mentioned above it seems to be accessible from the Macs. I doubt it is secure seeing that I have not actually configured any specific user access which is not ideal. Given its only a home network its not a big deal but it would be great if someone could explain how to go about granting permissions to allow users controlled access to the NFS shares. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
Hi duncan, since you are having issues with NFS and your windows file sharing setting...looking into samba and smb would be a great option since it supports better integration with the windows environment. Can you tell us what are you using for authentication...LDAP, pam,files or active directory...this will give us a better idea to help you. Take care.

Re: [osol-discuss] How to set NFS permissions
Hi edward, try checking the permissions and the folder/file ownership. I am almost certain something is wrong along those lines. Take care.

But the the Macbook is running UNIX and > the user ID is the same as the user id on the opensolaris server. I think you were on the right track wondering if smb would not be better. It is after all the native protocol to windows. But that doesn't mean you need to stop using nfs. Far as I know the share can have both turned on... I have that setup in several places. I recommend you zfs set smbshare=on file/system zfs set smbshare=name=somecoolname file/system Then somecoolname will be what windows sees and uses. You do need to start the smb server of course. If things are setup ok then `svcadm enable -r smb/server' You may need to join a work group too. Maybe someone else can supply that info, its been so long ago that I did that I've forgotten the required commands. Once these things are done I'd recommend you use a tried and tested chmod command that has ben mentioned on these forums many times as a way to cure windows to solaris server problems. (Note it is `/bin/chmod' in case solaris native chmod is not first in your path... gnu chmod doesn't now anything about this command) /bin/chmod -R A=everyone@:full_set:fd:allow /file/system/containing/share Once that is done then let windows do the rest, like creating directories or whatever. Before actually doing any of the above, you may want to verify its not going to cause some kind of mess. My usage is strictly homeboy home lan so any problems are not going to effect anyone else but me.. if that isn't true in your case... please verify the above procedure. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

If it's works with other UNIX then I the think something may be wrong on the windows side. I suggest to also post on the windows forum how to configure windows to access NFS on UNIX. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
