I would appreciate some help diagnosing this Debian NFS bug report.
If they're using up-to-date Debian unstable as they say, they'll have
been using nfs-utils 1.0 on both machines.

Hi!
I've been having serious difficulty using NFS-kernel-server too, and now
have the situation where with identical hosts.{deny,allow} and exports,
machine A can mount /etc from machine B, but not the other way around
(I'm just using /etc for testing, of course)
So,
root@strauss:/etc# mount -t nfs cmtdb121:/etc /tmp/qqq
On cmtdb121, syslog shows:
Aug 6 18:26:54 cmtdb121 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
strauss:955 for /etc (/etc)
but...
cmtdb121:/etc# mount -t nfs strauss:/etc /tmp/qqq
mount: strauss:/etc failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
and strauss shows in its syslog:
Aug 6 18:27:25 strauss rpc.mountd: refused mount request from cmtdb121
for /etc (/): no export entry
I note /etc is somehow referred to / on strauss (no idea why, but this
would seem to be the cause of the problem), whereas it's correctly
resolved as /etc on cmtdb121
cmtdb121 is a powerpc, Linux cmtdb121 2.4.18-powerpc #1 Thu Mar 14
16:55:14 EST 2002 ppc unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Strauss is a dual AMD box with 2 NICs (one unconfigured): Linux strauss
2.4.18-686-smp #2 SMP Wed Mar 20 20:24:14 EST 2002 i686 unknown unknown
GNU/Linux
Both of bang-up-to-date Sid installs. the portmapper, nfs-common and
nfs-kernel-servers have all been stopped and started in the appropriate
order several times.
Two sysadmins and I have spent almost a whole day on this: I don't think
it's obvious (although I'm pretty thick at reporting bugs sometimes and
have dropped a few bricks, at least the sysadmins agree with me this time :)
If there are any other test I could make, please don't hesitate to ask.
