If this is on the server, try "showmount -e" or "showmount -e localhost". > Client end: > > No access from the client - > > bobg]# mount 192.168.1.86:/home/exports/home /mnt/test > mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting > 192.168.1.86:/home/exports/home > > What am I missing and/or doing wrong? We don't know what your server's /etc/exports line that exports the directory looks like, so there's no way to tell. The line should be something like: /home/exports/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash) meaning that /home/exports/home is exported with read/write privileges to all hosts on the 192.168.1.* network, and that if a client mounts it as the root user, the root user ID is NOT squashed to the "anonymous" user on the server. You could run showmount -e 192.168.1.86 on the client to see what the server is exporting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - To err is human.
