Hi all I've just put Debian 2.2r3[1] on my work box (alongside Mandrake 7.1) and I'm getting
nfs bindresvport: Permission denied when trying to mount some NFS shares from our AS/400s. This works fine if I boot back into Mandrake, and the NFS server on the AS/400 is running fine. A showmount -e dev1 does list all the available shares, so I'm assuming it's something I've done (or more likely not done) on the client side that's causing me grief. Including the verbose option to mount doesn't give any more output, and I can't find anything in the logs to indicate a problem. Running mount in with -f happily reports dev1:/it on /mnt/dev1/it type nfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) One slight complication is that the AS/400's implementation of NFS (version 2) at OS/400 V4R4[2] or below only accepts a UDP connection. Recent versions of mount are TCP based (so I'm told), and won't work. The workaround is to use an older version - in my case I've been using the Mandrake 7.0 mount command successfully (on 7.1, that is). In case there is some issue with that, does anyone have a Slink mount binary I could try (I think it needs to be pre 2.10). Any ideas or suggestions of where else to look appreciated.
