| Post subject: | Problem with NFS |
I've tried setting an nfs server up on my Linode. For some reason I keep getting the following error from my pc. Code: mount_nfs: can't access /data: Permission denied I've looked at the message log on my server and I see the following Code: mountd[5209]: refused mount request from ***** for /data (/data): illegal port 50282 My exports file looks like this Code: /home *(rw,sync) I've tried connecting from a Redhat VM and from my mac. When I was on my Redhat VM I was logged in as root, and on the mac I'm logged in as myself. Where am I going wrong? |

Historically, NFS requests have been required to come from a port below 1024 (a "secure" port... ha!). Mac's (by default) dont' do this. You could add "-o resvport" to the mount command or, probably better, tell the Linux machine to not require this option ("insecure" in the exports file). eg /home *(rw,sync,insecure) Really, though, do you want to export "*" - to the whole world?! |

Thanks for your help. I will try this. I'm still not sure why my request is coming in from a higher port? Not quite sure how it is worked out? Where is it set on my mac? As for the *, I was under the impression that you put an ip address here. The thing is I've got a dynamic ip at home, so I'm not sure what I would put there? Because if I put what it is now, then tomorrow I reset my router, well I'm going to get a different ip. Edit: Just tried again and I still get permission denied but I don't get the illegal port error Mar 7 19:45:10 testbox mountd[10542]: authenticated mount request from **** for /data (/data) |
