I tried to upgrade Mandrake 5.3 to 6, but that was not a success... Several
.conf files got zapped and I had to reconstruct my old setup again and
didn't manage to get printing to work. So it was time to try again. I
thought it might be worth trying RedHat 6 because KDE was now included...
but ouch! The KDE implementation is awful and I must admit to being such a
newbie/non-techie that I can't live without kpackage.
Anyway, I have now cleanly installed Mandrake 6 and it's very nice (better
than the upgradde, becauase apparently that left lots of old files. The only
thing that doesn't work is the nfs server. Another machine just can't get
access... (Permission refused). I know I have forgotten something silly...
My exports file is:
/home/backup linux(rw,no_root_squash,insecure) # Martin's Data
My hosts.allow is:
ALL: 192.168.110.
swat: 127.0.0.1 192.168.110.
My hosts.deny is:
ALL
On the other machine I have a line in fstab that says:
machine:/home/backup /home/backup nfs user,exec,dev,suid,rw,soft,noac,intr
1 1
What have I forgotten? (nfs client works fine on the machine).
BTW: I am surprosed to see that when telnetting in a terminal window on the
M6 machine, mc is black and white instead of colour... what did I (not) do?
