Networking :: nfs mount, mount: only root can do that

same problem with or without the slash in home.

any idea if my /etc/hosts.allow is setup correctly?

oh right.. that error would be a server-side problem, on your Ubuntu machine.

your hosts.allow looks fine... thought I wonder if the space matters in "ALL: 192.168.0.2"

What happens if you don't use hosts.deny?

What's in your /etc/exports ?

hi,

If I comment out my hosts.deny file and run:

sudo exportfs -ra

on the ubuntu box to register any changes. I still get the 'Permission denied' message.

ummmm

If I run the below on the DSL box:

sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.1

I get:

Export list for 192.168.0.1:
/home/john/Desktop/xubuntu 192.168.0.2

this shows the NFS service is running under ubuntu.

any ideas?

the /etc/exports looks fine. I'm not in front of the machines but it matches the sharing info in Ubuntu's gui.

on DSL I get the below info about ubuntu's share:

sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.1

I get:

Export list for 192.168.0.1:
/home/john/Desktop/xubuntu 192.168.0.2

I think it's DSL version of the NFS client is not compatible with ubuntu's NFS server. Anyone out there had success with Ubuntu (NFS server) / DSL (NFS client) ?

Have you tested that Ubuntu nfs server before with another client?
