I figured this out. Basically the reverse DNS queries should match what is listed in the netgroup map. On 8/22/06, jassduec@xxxxxxxxx <jassduec@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I have a Solaris 9 NIS server and Linux (kernel 2.6.9) NFS server. I require access control on which machines can access what shares on the linux NFS server. Hence i am using netgroups in /etc/exports. Also i have set up hosts.allow and hosts.deny to have access control over services like portmap, mountd, statd etc. From the NFS server i can query netgroups NIS map properly. However when a legitimate request come from a client computer to the Linux server, the server denies it. If i use the IP address/Hostname of the client rather than netgroup in the /etc/exports and /etc/hosts.allow, everythings seems to work well. Has anybody faced this problem. Where am i going wrong? Any replies would be highly appreciated. TIA
