rpc.mountd times out (hamm)
Having moved our RAID array from a BSD box to a Debian box, I'm trying
to set up NFS. I have an area I'd like all our clients to be able to
mount publically (it's a public ftp dir)
Debian Linux runs mountd through RPC. BSD didn't - mountd ran
standalone. Having RTFM, I think Debian does this for security (?) - I
can't get it to work.
I've edited my /etc/exports. I also added a line to my
/etc/hosts.allow:
portmap: <ipnet>/<ipmask>
portmap is running. I tried /etc/inetd.conf with the stock setup, and
also tried adding the mountd lines listed in the mountd man page.
I don't know jack about NIS, or RPC :) so I don't know why this doesn't
work.
Symptoms:
The server (pavlov) logs lines like
Apr 23 14:10:38 pavlov mountd[2456]: NFS mount of /home/ftp/pub
attempted from <ipaddr>
Apr 23 14:10:38 pavlov mountd[2456]: /home/ftp/pub has been mounted by
<ipaddr>
However, the mount command on the other machine (also running Debian)
hangs indefinitely. Only kill -9 will get rid of it.
showmount also hangs, and eventually comes back with
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
If I log into one of our BSD servers and attempt an NFS mount, I get
NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered
Help?
