Hi!
Apart from the wu-ftpd upgrade I talked about yesterday I also did the nfs-
utils upgrade. Another very dumb move. Our provider (widexs.nl) puts its own
nfs over the existing nfs-utils. So I thought I was upgrading nfs-utils, but
instead I was killing their nfs stuff. I got their RPM's and installed these
again, but NFS refuses to work. If I run portmap -d -v it segfaults as soon as
I run rpcinfo -p locally. But I never touched portmap.
This machine runs a 2.2.15 kernel. The .config file in /usr/src/linux seems
to be the one with which this kernel is built (its a few days older than the
kernel), but I am missing a lot of modules in /lib/modules/2.2.15 which should
have been built according to the config file. No NFS server capability is
built into the kernel since they use their own binaries.
I asked them to provide me with a backup of the system directories (/etc,
/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /var), but the only dirs I got are /etc
and /var. Hm. Not much to restore there. They seem to have never made a backup
of the system itself.
Anybody got any suggestions how to get NFS back on its feet? I can not setup
this system the way I would like to, that includes being unable to
recompile/upgrade the kernel. I guess I am stuck with their ways.
Any help is appreciated. Thanx,
Bye,
Leonard.
