They where originally 777 on the client and 775 on the server but I now changed them to 775 on both machines. No change in the problem.

There is an entry in etc/hosts on the server for the name and IP of the client. /etc/exports is correct and /etc/host.allow grants client all privledges to the client my IP. Is there something else? Also, I have yet to hear from anyone successfully mounting 6.2 NFS shares on a 7.1 system. Could this be the problem? I'll repeat mounting with the client server roles reversed works fine. ####################### Original Question ############################## Ok list, I need some help. I have a laptop running RedHat 6.2. I am trying to mount directories via NFS. Now I do not want to do this if the laptop is not on my local LAN, so I am not starting NFS in my boot scripts. I am starting it manually. The tower onto which I am mounting the laptop directory is running RedHat 7.1. The laptop is valencia, the tower is zaragoza. Ok first here is my /etc/exports ############################################################################## home/jna/ zaragoza.andante.mn.org(rw,no_root_squash) ############################################################################## The first try I did [root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/ mnt/valencia mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused at that point I realized that I was not starting NFS on the laptop so I did [root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd [root@valencia jna]# /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd now I get [root]# mount -o rsize=1024,wsize=1024 valencia:/home/jna/ mnt/valencia mount: valencia:/home/jna failed, reason given by server: Permission denied what permissions are we talking about???? The permissions on the mount point are 777. The permissions on valencia:/home/jna are standard 755. I mount in the reverse zaragoza to valencia just fine with the same permissions. What am I missing All comments welcome. ######################################################################## Thanks john ------------------------------------ John N.
