Date: 7 Sep 1995 18:11:42 GMT Organization: Columbia University Center for Telecommunications Research Lines: 50 Message-ID: <42ncku$qtp@sol.ctr.columbia.edu> References: <42mu88$e8f@fu-berlin.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: startide.ctr.columbia.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Gunther Schadow (gusw@zedat.fu-berlin.de) had the courage to say: : Hi all, : I made a new installation of `uname -a`: : FreeBSD ... 2.1.0-950726-SNAP FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP #0 ... : which I wanted to use as an NFS client. The appropriate parts of the : kernel configuration are: : options INET # InterNETworking : options MROUTING # Multicast routing : options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem : options NFS # Network Filesystem MROUTING isn't necessary for NFS, but it doesn't hurt. : The network runse fine, i.e. all inet services are well off: : telnet/rlogin, ftp, ping, etc... But when I try to mount an NFS with : the following command: : mount -t nfs existing-host:/nfsdir /mnt : I get the message: : NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered : Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong? *groan* This is hardly a FreeBSD-specific question, but I'll answer it anyway. You've forgotten to configure existing-host as an NFS server. The server host needs to run mountd and nfsd (that's nfsd, *NOT* nfsiod), and it has to have a proferly configured /etc/exports file that grants your FreeBSD host permission to mount the /nfsdir filesystem. -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
