Hi to everyone,
I'm searching for help for setting NFS between two machines (my home
Linux host and my laptop)
I've red the Linux NFS HOW-TO doc (thanks to Tavis, Nicolai, Seth and
Tom) but the system is not working.
The Problem: when I search to mount to any of the exported directories
I've a message "RPC timed out" from the client and in /var/log/messages
I don't find any useful message (the log line is "athenticated request
for /home/cesare ...." and the following line says "the above message
repeated 6 time
For max precision this is the message on server side
"Dec 8 16:06:04 sfondrin-home rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request
from sfondrin-port:950 for /home/cesare (/home/cesare)"
Dec 8 16:06:23 sfondrin-home last message repeated 6 times
If someone can help me I provide the information on my systems:
0. the machines are connected with an honest cross cable
1. The server machine is running red hat server edition 8.0
2. The output of uname -a is
Linux sfondrin-home 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 12:13:11 EDT 2002 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
3. The /etc/exports file follows:
/home/cesare sfondrin-port(rw,insecure,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
/home/laptop sfondrin-port(rw,sync)
/home/local sfondrin-port(rw,sync)
/home/boss sfondrin-port(rw,sync)
4. The output of rpcinfo -p pn the server machine (sfondrin-home) is:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32768 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status
391002 2 tcp 32769 sgi_fam
100011 1 udp 780 rquotad
100011 2 udp 780 rquotad
100011 1 tcp 783 rquotad
100011 2 tcp 783 rquotad
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100005 1 udp 32771 mountd
100005 1 tcp 32770 mountd
100005 2 udp 32771 mountd
100005 2 tcp 32770 mountd
100005 3 udp 32771 mountd
100005 3 tcp 32770 mountd
The same output I've when run rpcinfo -p on the client machine and when
I run rpcinfo -p <server-name>
5. The host.allow file follows (I've left obvious security hole that I
close in future when I resolve my NFS problem). the file is strange
enough (I've inserted the IP address of the server machine and the ALL
after I've tried with a "polite " file as indicated in the how to doc.
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
portmap: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
lockd: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
rquotad: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
mountd: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
statd: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
nfsd: ALL , 10.58.18.111 , 10.58.18.112
# ALL: LOCAL 10.58.
6. From my laptop Client I can:
ping the server
ftp to my server
telnet to my server
So I suppose the problem is not a networking one (neither level three
or level 4)
Could you help me about the problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cesare

Any firewalls running?
Try "iptables -L" on both server and client to find out.
