Hi, I am having three linux system in my LAN with details as follows:

1. Open SUSE 10.2 with Static IP Address 192.168.0.2 and treating

as Server. 2. Fedora Core 6 with Static IP Address 192.168.0.3 and treating as Client1. 3. Zenwalk Linux 5.2 with Static IP Address 192.168.0.4 and treating as Client2.

Now I want to export one fixed folder to Client1 and another fixed folder to Client2 from Server so that I can work on Server from Client Systems using the concept of NFS. For this purpose I made following entry in the /etc/exports file:

=================================================================== ==== # See the exports(5) manpage for a description of the syntax of this file. # This file contains a list of all directories that are to be exported to # other computers via NFS (Network File System). # This file used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd. See their manpages for details # on how make changes in this file effective. /home/rashid 192.168.0.4(rw) /home/ccpplinux/public_html 192.168.0.3(rw) =================================================================== ====

you need to start rpc.mountd and add in hosts.allow ALL: ALL

Then I started nfs server on the Server system with the following command:

=================================================================== ==== linux-server:/etc # /etc/rc.d/nfsserver restart Shutting down kernel based NFS server done Starting kernel based NFS serverexportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.0.4:/home/rashid". Assuming default behaviour ('subtree_check'). NOTE: this default will change with nfs-utils version 1.1.0 exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.0.3:/home/ccpplinux/public_html". Assuming default behaviour ('subtree_check'). NOTE: this default will change with nfs-utils version 1.1.0

done linux-server:/etc #

Then from the Client2 system I tried to mount the folder exported from the Server as follows:

=================================================================== ==== root[~]# mount 192.168.0.2:/home/rashid/ /root/server/ mount.nfs: internal error root[~]# =================================================================== ====

But as you can see I am getting the message of internal error.

what does syslog say.

Similarly from the Client1 system I tried to mount the folder exported from the Server:

=================================================================== ==== [root@FedoraClient ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.2:/home/ccpplinux/ /root/server/ mount: 192.168.0.2:/home/ccpplinux/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied [root@FedoraClient ~]# =================================================================== ====

As you can see I am getting message of Permission denied.

So I am unable to make use of NFS in my LAN. Can you please help me so that I can start using the facility of NFS on my Linux Systems?

I will remain thankful to you all for this forever.
