Subject: NFS Mounts

  I have two Linux systems - one Fedora and one SuSE. 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.

  Running any kind of a firewall that is preventing access?

Client is in /etc/hosts. No firewall running. Mountd is not running on a specific port. Restarted nfsd. The only thing I haven't tried is to use any options for mount. I'll give that a try.
