also.... what is an "empty mount point" and how does one go about creating one!!!!! thanks ok.. for now i seem to have gotten the appropriate services up/running on the nfs server... i made a change to the /etc/export file to allow a client linux box to have rw access to a idr "/colleges/data".... i haven't made any other changes to the server (i still can't get the NFS Server Config app to work under gnome. It's throwing python errors.... The actual app is the redhat-config-nfs app) i tried to access the nfs server from the client and got a "connection refused" message.... in reading through various threads on google.. i come across the allow/deny files.. but i thought if the client wasn't listed in either file.. it should be allowed... any ideas/comments welcome..!!!! thanks -bruce -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Pete Nesbitt Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 5:05 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: nfs issue...

So are there errors or anything at the command line with (last email I said nfsd, but it's just nfs): # service nfs start > from "grep nfs /var/log/messages" > > [root@lserver3 root]# grep nfs /var/log/messages > Jul 1 14:24:25 lserver3 kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 > okir@xxxxxxxxxxxx). > Jul 1 14:24:26 lserver3 nfs: Starting NFS services: succeeded > Jul 1 14:24:26 lserver3 nfs: rpc.rquotad startup failed > Jul 1 14:25:41 lserver3 nfs: Starting NFS services: succeeded > Jul 1 14:25:41 lserver3 nfs: rpc.rquotad startup failed > Jul 1 14:36:11 lserver3 nfsd[14439]: nfssvc: Address already in use <snip...> I did a quick Goolgle, and there are several threads about this error, although I didn't see anything explaining/resolving it. Might be worth some 'quality time'. What does your /etc/exports file look like? What does 'exportfs -v' show?
