List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, I have a Sun Sparc (Solaris 8) NFS server serving to 3 identical Sun Sparcs and 25 PC's with RH Linux 7.1. The NFS mounts from Solaris to Solaris work and persist, but the linux boxes do not. The filesystem on the linux boxes mounts correctly at boot, and the data persists ONLY when the user 'root' logs on. If another user logs on, the data 'disappears' while the mount persists. Below are the results from 2 df -k commands (/mnt/gemdata is the NFS mount): [root@xxxxxxx weather]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb6 25205252 10785776 13139100 46% / /dev/hdb7 13108468 1179272 11263304 10% /usr xxxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx.edu:/space 12899648 4451328 8319328 35% /mnt/gemdata 5 minutes later, logged on as a regular user...... [weather@xxxxxxx ~]$ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb6 25205252 10785760 13139116 46% / /dev/hdb7 13108468 1179272 11263304 10% /usr xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.edu:/space 0 1 0 0% /mnt/gemdata Also, the following messages show up in /var/log/messages: johnstown kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 13 johnstown kernel: call_verify: server requires stronger authentication. Apparently, the Sun has no problem with the 'root' user on the linux boxes, but any other 'less qualified' user logs on and there are problems. Has anyone heard of/experienced this? Is there an option I could add to my 'share' command on the NFS server, or my /etc/fstab on my linux boxes that would help this situation? Thanks!
