Hi,
I have just installed FC4 (minimum install) on a computer I intend to
setup as a server.
When I went to enable the NFS, I can't get it to work properly.
The important error message is :=
# /etc/init.d/nfs start
# tail /var/log/messages
Sep 2 13:18:40 mini-cl exportfs[2524]: can't open /etc/exports for reading
Sep 2 13:18:40 mini-cl kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir at monad.swb.de).
Sep 2 13:18:40 mini-cl kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev nfsd, type nfsd), uses genfs_contexts
Sep 2 13:18:40 mini-cl rpc.idmapd: nfsdreopen: Opening '' failed: errno 2 (No such file or directory)
And on the client use
# mount mini-cl:/mnt/storage storage
mount: mini-cl:/mnt/storage failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
# exportfs -a
# tail /var/log/messages
Sep 2 13:21:30 mini-cl exportfs[2592]: can't open /etc/exports for reading
# ls -l /etc/exports
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27 Sep 2 11:46 /etc/exports
# cat /etc/exports
/mnt/storage 192.168.0.0/16(rw)
# cat /etc/hosts.deny
portmap:ALL
# cat /etc/hosts.allow
portmap: 192.168.
If I use exportfs to bypass the /etc/exports file with
# exportfs -o rw 192.168.0.0/16:/mnt/storage
and on the client use
# mount mini-cl:/mnt/storage storage
Every thing works fine.
Any help appreciated.
Regards Neil.
