what address does bind portmap on your RHEL 4.4 ? see in /etc/default/portmap or /etc/sysconfig/[something like portmap] or do a: # netstat -tupl and see the adress portmap uses. if it is 127.0.0.1 (loalhost), then this is the error. ...hth - Ben Le jeudi 06 septembre 2007 à 12:00 -0400, Kirkwood, David A. a écrit : > Hi, > > I'm trying to get a Red Hat enterprise linux 4.4 to server out home directories via NFS. As a test I have disabled the firewall and put SELINUX in permissive mode. I'm attempting to mount it to a Solaris 8 system. I have the export line set as /opt *(sync,rw). I see the exports with showmount -e as I should. I watch the messages file via tail -f and I see the other system authenticated by mount, but the directory never mounts. The Solaris system mounts other unix systems fine, as well as a RH 7.3 system, so I don't think it is the problem. I tried to mount the file system of the host under the host itself. No dice. Does anyone have another suggestion of something I have forgotten? I verified that rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are both running on the server side. > > Thanks in advance, - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
