Good afternoon
I was just setting up one of my servers, and ran into a perplexing problem.
I edited my /etc/fstab file and added my new mounts ie:
Srvfs-01:/home /home nfs
hard,intr
Then restarted the nfs service
nfs service needs to run only on the server not the client.
When I type
mount srvfs-01:/home
I get mount failed, reason returned by server -- permission denied
The mount above should be mount /home.
I am logged in as root on the box im working on, and im just not
sure
where to begin trouble shooting this one
Any insights would be appreciated

I tried the above suggestions, as far as the mount command syntax, and it still returns the same error -- here is the session transcript
login as: root root@xxxxxxxxxxxx's password: Last login: Thu Apr 14 13:53:56 2005 from mod3teacher.mcaschool.net [root@SRVDB-01 root]# mount /home mount: srvfs-01:/home failed, reason given by server: Permission denied [root@SRVDB-01 root]#
I hate to admit to confusion, but I am totally lost on this one.
If "/usr/sbin/showmount -e srvfs-01" shows nothing from this particular client but does show something from a different client, it's likely to be a problem at the client side. Do you have any firewall running on this client? Can this client mount any NFS shares from any other server?
