Hey,
My desktop has Debian Etch running on it. I have another laptop has
latest Ubuntu installed on it. I want my Debian Etch box to serve as
file server so I can back up the files from Ubuntu laptop to Debian
desktop.
I installed nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server on my Debian Etch box. In
the /etc/exports and /etc/hosts I made the corresponding
configurations. From Ubuntu's shell I install and started the nfs-
common and created a directory /mnt/private. But mount rocky-desk:/
home/lover/shareTest /mnt/private/ makes owner and group of the /mnt/
private to nagios. The permission for that is 644. My user name for
the Ubuntu box is not nagios. I do not even use root to change /mnt/
private 's permission. Can any of you tell me how I can make the
ubuntu box's /mnt/private directory with correct user & group so I can
read and write the files stored on Debian Etch box please?
Blessings,
Rocky
With NFS, UIDs must match. So, your UID, not your username need to be the
same on both the debian box and your ubuntu box. You can find this info
out through the id command.
