Having moved our RAID array from a BSD box to a Debian box, I'm trying to set up NFS. I have an area I'd like all our clients to be able to mount publically (it's a public ftp dir)
Debian Linux runs mountd through RPC. BSD didn't - mountd ran standalone. Having RTFM, I think Debian does this for security (?) - I can't get it to work. I've edited my /etc/exports. I also added a line to my /etc/hosts.allow: portmap: <ipnet>/<ipmask> portmap is running. I tried /etc/inetd.conf with the stock setup, and also tried adding the mountd lines listed in the mountd man page. I don't know jack about NIS, or RPC :) so I don't know why this doesn't work. Symptoms: The server (pavlov) logs lines like Apr 23 14:10:38 pavlov mountd[2456]: NFS mount of /home/ftp/pub attempted from <ipaddr> Apr 23 14:10:38 pavlov mountd[2456]: /home/ftp/pub has been mounted by <ipaddr> However, the mount command on the other machine (also running Debian) hangs indefinitely. Only kill -9 will get rid of it. showmount also hangs, and eventually comes back with mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out If I log into one of our BSD servers and attempt an NFS mount, I get NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered Help? -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
