NFS problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have two boxes, one normally used by user A, and the other by user B.
I want to make it possible for user A to access his files from B's
computer, and vice versa.
So, in each computer I amended
1) file /etc/exports to export the relative directories and restarted
nfs-kernel-server, and
2) amended file /etc/fstab to mount the the directories exported from
the other computer in directores having the same name as the exported
ones and ran mount -a.
It is now possible for user A to log in on B's computer and see and use
his files, but not the reverse: B cannot log in on A's computer and use
his files.
What I find strange is that the nfs settings on both computers are
absolutely identical. Both computers use Etch. The names and ids of
both users are the same; they both belong to the same group which has
identical name and id on both computers; and the permissions are the
same "drwxrwx---".
One computer is a P4; the other is a dual core. The export from the P4
to the dual core works; but the export from the dual core to the P4 does
not. When I run mount -a on the P4 the following is returned for each
directory to be mounted:
failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
After careful and extended experimentation I can't figure out why the
dual core cannot export. I no one can provide me advice to point to
why, perhaps I should file a bug report.
