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@xxxxxxxxxxxx). 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.
