I've always had some odd inconistencies with the hosts and permissions
(more specifically exports and mounting). I've been wondering about this
one for awhile but just kludged the inconsistencies to make it work for
lack of more time.... now it's bugging me again...
First... what's the preferred format for hosts?
128.230.xxx.xxx host host.domain.edu (or host.domain.edu first? and why?)
I have a client who is identified as host1
disk1 is exported to host1.domain.edu
disk1 is mounted ok on host1
host1: umount /disk1
change disk1 export to host1 (instead of host1.domain.edu)
host1: mount /disk1
mount: server1:/disk1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
so I change export back to host.domain.edu
and it mounts.
I wonder why it requires the full hostname?
It's listed as 1.2.3.4 host1 host1.domain.edu in nis hosts table.
yet other nfs file serving tables have the hostname only (pre 4.0B) in the
exports table and it works.
What could be inconsistent?
I'm sure it doesn't help matters that we're usings hosts.phy.syr.edu using
dns maps from *.syr.edu
Thanks,
Dan
