Hi,

I set-up DSL to be a NFS server but when it's time to
export directory with "exportfs -ra", it complains with

"<my host name>:/users: Function not implemented."

With lsmod, the kernel module exportfs is missing.

The version I am using is:

DSL version 3.3, 2.4.26

Any hint where the problem could be ?

Did you install the NFS-Kernel-Server or NFS-User-Server manually or with apt/synaptics? Because if not, the NFS SERVER is not present, only the nfs-kernel-client.

Also, try just restarting the NFS server from inside init.d, i.e. /etc/init.d/rc/NFS-Kernel-Server restart or something like that. When I get home I can look at my config and see which NFS-Kernel-Server I installed (Woody stable). I know I saved the apt-get package since Debian no longer has that old version (2.?.?) which needs alot less to install then the newer version.

I've re-installed everything from scratch and now it's working fine.
I did a "apt-get install nfs-kernel-server", add a few directory
in /etc/exports, restarted nfs and it was successful to
connect to an old HP-UX box (712/80).

Thanks.
