Hi,
I have just had a problem mounting a file system NFS3 exported from
Tru64 ver 5.0a on to a Solaris 2.6 machine.
At first I had exported the filesystem using the following line in the
exports file ( tru64machine is the fully qualified name of the Tru64
box, and solarismachine the FQN of the Sun box)
/export/disk1 -access=tru64machine:solarismachine
I could mount the disk on the Tru64 machine with out any problems. The
Sun however gave a permission denied response
Next I tried allowing world access to the disk
/export/disk1 -access
both the Tru64 & the Sun could mount the disk.
So I tried
/export/disk1 -rw=tru64machine:solarismachine
Both machines could mount the exported disk, but every man and his dog
can also mount the disk read only which is not an ideal situation.
I tried again to eport the disk using the -access option but the Sun
wouldnt mount the disk at all.
The mountd daemon on the exporting Tru64 box is running with no
options
root 26776 1 0.0 Mar 20 ?? 0:00.10
/usr/sbin/mountd
I want the Sun to mount the Tru64 exported NFS disk, but I do not want
anyone else to mount the disk even as a read only disk. Any suggestion
as how to resolve this problem?
As an additional note I had a look at the man pages on the Sun for the
share_nfs command and the /etc/dfs/dfstab file which Sun uses to
detail the nfs export of filesystems.
Sun doesn't have an -access option. The Sun -rw option is the same as
the Tru64 -access option. Is it possible the when the Sun NFS client
sends it's mount request to the Tru64 mountd, there is some sort of
"misunderstanding" going on between them that causes the mount on the
Sun to fail and the "Permisson Denied" error to be displayed?
