Mounting Linux 2.4 NFS share on an OpenBSD 2.8 machine
Hi folks,
I have an OpenBSD 2.8 machine that I've been building up, and is sitting
on my LAN. I want to back it up, so I was intending to mount a directory
from my Debain GNU/Linux (Testing with 2.4.1-ac2) onto the BSD box.
I added "/tmp" to the exports file:
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
/null localhost
/tmp 192.168.13.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
# Automatically added for use by cfs
/.cfsfs localhost(rw) # Cryptographic Filesystem export
And restared /etc/init.d/nfs-server.
I went to the BSD box (narcolepsy), and ran:
[narcolepsy:~]% mount rei:/tmp /mnt
mount_nfs: can't access /tmp: Permission denied
On my Debian box (rei), I got the following in the logs:
Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: NFS mount of /tmp attempted from
192.168.13.70
Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: NFS request from
narcolepsy originated on insecure port, psychoanalysis suggested
Mar 25 12:06:49 rei mountd[18186]: Blocked attempt of 192.168.13.70 to
mount /tmp
I didn't think that there was anything particularly strange about what I
did, so I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm not sure what it means by "insecure
port", and whether it's a BSD or Linux issue. I'm a lot more familiar
with Linux than BSD, FWIW.
I have the following in /etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.13.0/255.255.255.0
which would hopefully not stop narcolepsy (192.168.13.70) to accessing
it.
Any suggestions or pointers to appropriate documentation would be
greatly appreciated.
cheers,
damon
