No, I'm using a NetBSD-current (as of late November) kernel on both
machines (though I've also tried a GENERICAHA kernel on the client
with the same results). The config file has the following definitions
in it.
# network definitions for epicure
options GATEWAY,INET
options NFSCLIENT,NFSSERVER
This is getting more and more frustrating, because from all
appearances it's the client machine, not the server, that messing up
(at least from what I can gather from the messages; I know next to
nothing about NFS). Here's my /etc/exports file:
/usr -root=0 spartan
/usr/share
So I try some mounts:
epicure # mount epicure:/usr/include /mnt
Mount RPC error on epicure:/usr/include: Permission denied
epicure # mount epicure:/usr /mnt
Mount RPC error on epicure:/usr: Permission denied
epicure # mount epicure:/usr/share /mnt
epicure:/usr/share on /mnt: Permission denied
You'll note that I get a an error from the clnt_call(clp, RPC_MOUNT, ...)
call in mount.c if I try to mount something that's not in the exports,
but I get a different error message, which is from the mount() system
call itself, for the things I am allowed to mount.
If anyone could give me any clues at all on this, even if it's just "I
do it that way and it works for me; here's my kernel config file" I'd
really appreciate it. I'm completely stumped on this one.
