I had a difficult time getting nfs working on our network of three Red
Hat 6.1 machines. What finally got me going was compiling the Red Hat
supplied kernel with nfs server support, and setting permission in
/etc/hosts.allow. I tried compiling kernels downloaded from kernel.org,
and these kernels had the "nfs server support" option greyed out. If
you compile the kernel that comes with Red Hat 6.1, you should see that
"nfs server support" is an active option. I think you need this feature
to export your partitions. Then, I had to modify the /etc/hosts.allow
on all machines like this:
in.telnetd : LOCAL
in.ftpd : LOCAL
ALL : 192.168.1.
With previous Red Hats, I only had the telnet and ftp lines. But with
Red Hat 6.1, I had to put in the ALL line or else a machine would not
authenticate another machine which was trying to access its partitions.
Our machines are on a local class C network with addresses 192.168.1.x.
OK, good luck,
Hidong
