Well, more testing reveals that I have some underlying problem with either hardware, or how the hardware is handled by the kernel/drivers. One freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a ASUS motherboard with a P3500MHz chip, 256MB RAM, and 3COM 3c590 Nic can mount NFS directories exported by a SFU 3.5 server with no problems - performs as expected. The original trouble unit, now a freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a SuperMicro 370DL3 motherboard with a P3900MHz chip, 512MB ECC RAM, and onboard Intel 82559 Nic gets the timeout message. I can't use showmount on that system to view exported directories on remote systems while the ASUS system works flawlessly. Thinking it was an issue with the onboard Nic on the SuperMicro unit, I disabled the onboard and replaced with a 3C980 Nic but go the exact same results. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the ServerWorks chipset on the motherboard or what, but I'm also finding that transfering files from my XP unit via SSH is very slow (10MB file takes 5 minutes with transfer rate of less than 100K on a 100Mbit LAN connection) but only between the SuperMicro unit and my XP system. Lastly, both the ASUS and SuperMicro units can mount an exported share on our Snap Server. I'm lost. (Opens office windows...sends SuperMicro unit plunging to its death in the parking lot below). Problem solved!

Thinking there was some configuration problem on the FC1 box, I reinstalled from scratch. Still get the same timeout message. Does anyone have any idea where I can go to find out what has changed between RH9 and FC1 in terms of NFS defaults/settings/functionality?

Port 111 I think. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Graves [mailto:jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 10:46 AM To: Redhat List Subject: MS Services for UNIX 3.5 Wanted to drop an email to the list to see if anyone could help me out. I downloaded SFU 3.5 the other day in the hopes that I could use the NFS Server included to allow access to linux clients. Running Windows 2000 Adv Srv with AD Native and Fedora Core 1. I've downloaded, installed and configured SFU for passwd-file PCNFS type User Name Mapping and it is properly mapping linux and windows user accounts. I cannot however mount any shares. I get a RPC timeout on the linux box while the Event Viewer on the windows machine says mount successful. If I send a rpcinfo broadcast message from the linux box, the windows server does not respond, however querying the host using rpcinfo -p <windows_machine> shows all of the processes running. If I try a rpcinfo broadcast from the windows machine it sees itself and using the rpcinfo -p <linux_machine> also sees the portmapper service. I have tried everything in the help documents, I even installed SFU on my XP professional machine and mapped local user accounts (instead of domain accounts) all with the same results - RPC timeout. I tried using a RH9 client and got the same timeout message. I also tried every mount option in the world - nfsvers/hard/soft/rsize/wsize/nolock/noac and either got the timeout message or Server could not decode arguments message. Mounting from the XP box to the windows 2k box works. Does anyone have an suggestions or help to offer getting SFU 3.5 talking to FC1? Or, better yet, can someone recommend a low cost NFS server solution for windows that has the user name mapping functionality with an NFS server?
