Hi everyone, I'm having some headache configuring nfs on my nas on which I've installed Debian Lenny. Basically it works, but I can access the shares of my nas only if their permissions allow everyone. Having the right "group" permissions is not enough, and I get a "Permission denied" when I try to access directories where I should have "group" access. Of course usernames, uids and gids are the same between the machines, and my user is in the right groups. Here are some more details: root@nas ~ # cat /etc/exports /home 192.168.0.1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) root@nas ~ # cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports # Version 1.1 # Path Client(Flags) # IPs /home 192.168.0.1 (rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check,uuid=aaff1cde:08674ab9:97d5909a:214f393a) rk@alfa ~ $ grep nfs /etc/fstab nas:/home /mnt/nas nfs noauto,rw,hard,intr 0 0 rk@alfa ~ $ grep nfs /proc/mounts rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw,relatime 0 0 nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw,relatime 0 0 nas:/home /mnt/nas nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.0.101,mountvers=3,mountport=34015,mountproto=udp,addr=192.168.0.101 0 0 root@nas ~ # ls -ld /home/test drwxr-x--- 2 root doc 4.0K Jul 3 20:39 /home/test rk@alfa ~ $ ls -ld /mnt/nas/test drwxr-x--- 2 root doc 4,0K 3 lug 20.39 /mnt/nas/test rk@nas ~ $ ls -la /home/test/ total 8.0K drwxr-x--- 2 root doc 4.0K Jul 3 21:25 ./ drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Jul 3 20:56 ../ -rw-r----- 1 root doc 0 Jul 3 21:25 testfile.txt rk@alfa ~ $ LC_ALL=POSIX ls /mnt/nas/test/ ls: cannot open directory /mnt/nas/test/: Permission denied rk@alfa ~ $ LC_ALL=POSIX id | grep doc uid=500(rk) gid=500(rk) groups=500(rk),4(adm),6(disk),7(lp),8(mail),9(news),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),34(backup),40(src),44(video),46(plugdev),60(games),100(users),108(powerdev),109(scanner),120(polkituser),124(vboxusers),200(wheel),510(rknet),511(contab),512(ppp),513(inst),514(mount),515(rsync),516(software),517(film),518(modem),520(wine),521(mp3),523(log),525(kernel),527(rep),528(htman),529(cdsearch),530(foto),531(samba),532(firewire),535(sd),536(sm),537(cf),538(ms),539(mmread),540(pen0),541(pen1),542(pen2),543(pen3),544(pen4),545(pen5),546(pen6),547(pen7),549(win),550(doc),552(dos),553(xwin),554(cdrw),555(dvdrw),556(dvd),557(checkinstall),558(ipod),559(roms),561(alfa),562(beta),563(gamma),564(delta),565(sat),566(media),567(nas),571(usb30),572(usb40),573(usb200) rk@nas ~ $ id | grep doc uid=500(rk) gid=500(rk) groups=4(adm),6(disk),7(lp),8(mail),9(news),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),34(backup),40(src),44(video),46(plugdev),60(games),100(users),104(powerdev),500(rk),510(rknet),511(contab),512(ppp),513(inst),514(mount),515(rsync),516(software),517(film),518(modem),520(wine),521(mp3),523(log),525(kernel),527(rep),528(htman),529(cdsearch),530(foto),531(samba),532(firewire),535(sd),536(sm),537(cf),538(ms),539(mmread),540(pen0),541(pen1),542(pen2),543(pen3),544(pen4),545(pen5),546(pen6),547(pen7),549(win),550(doc),552(dos),553(xwin),554(cdrw),555(dvdrw),556(dvd),557(checkinstall),558(ipod),559(roms),561(alfa),562(beta),563(gamma),564(delta),565(sat),566(media),571(usb30),572(usb40),573(usb200) It seems an "ordinary" permission problem, but "ordinary" solutions don't seem to work... I've read all the man pages about nfs, nfsd, exports, etc., particularly here: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s07.html#pemission_issues and the NFS-HOWTO, searched with Google, etc. etc., but I still haven't found any solution. Thank you in advance for your answers. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
