I'm attempting to mount a file system from one on the other (either way). I've placed the file system in /etc/exports and done an exportfs -a to populate xtab. nfsd and rpc.mountd are running. I've put ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.allow. The host names are in each others hosts files. mount hostname:/home/shared /mnt/hostname always returns a permission denied. What am I missing? Thanks- Dan Just a guess, but does the user trying to mount this have rights to /mnt/hostname? Well, I'm doing this all as root, so I would assume so. I also have /etc/hosts.equiv populated... Another clue maybe - if I try to rsh, I get a connection refused. Dan Running any kind of a firewall that is preventing access?
