MS Services for UNIX 3.5

[Jeff Graves]

Well, more testing reveals that I have some underlying problem with
either hardware, or how the hardware is handled by the kernel/drivers.
One freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a ASUS motherboard with a P3500MHz
chip, 256MB RAM, and 3COM 3c590 Nic can mount NFS directories exported
by a SFU 3.5 server with no problems - performs as expected. The
original trouble unit, now a freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a SuperMicro
370DL3 motherboard with a P3900MHz chip, 512MB ECC RAM, and onboard
Intel 82559 Nic gets the timeout message. I can't use showmount on that
system to view exported directories on remote systems while the ASUS
system works flawlessly. Thinking it was an issue with the onboard Nic
on the SuperMicro unit, I disabled the onboard and replaced with a 3C980
Nic but go the exact same results. I'm not sure if it has something to
do with the ServerWorks chipset on the motherboard or what, but I'm also
finding that transfering files from my XP unit via SSH is very slow
(10MB file takes 5 minutes with transfer rate of less than 100K on a
100Mbit LAN connection) but only between the SuperMicro unit and my XP
system. Lastly, both the ASUS and SuperMicro units can mount an exported
share on our Snap Server. I'm lost. (Opens office windows...sends
SuperMicro unit plunging to its death in the parking lot below). Problem
solved!

Okay, so I worked on the RH 9 box a little bit and ended up getting it
to mount. Thinking there was some configuration problem on the FC1 box,
I reinstalled from scratch. Still get the same timeout message. Does
anyone have any idea where I can go to find out what has changed between
RH9 and FC1 in terms of NFS defaults/settings/functionality?

Thanks,

No firewall is active on either unit (ipchains/iptables is disabled) and
I know that there's no corrupt package because I can mount an exported
share on our Snap Server.

Firewall on the linux box? Port 111 I think.

Wanted to drop an email to the list to see if anyone could help me out.
I downloaded SFU 3.5 the other day in the hopes that I could use the NFS
Server included to allow access to linux clients. Running Windows 2000
Adv Srv with AD Native and Fedora Core 1. I've downloaded, installed and
configured SFU for passwd-file PCNFS type User Name Mapping and it is
properly mapping linux and windows user accounts. I cannot however mount
any shares. I get a RPC timeout on the linux box while the Event Viewer
on the windows machine says mount successful. If I send a rpcinfo
broadcast message from the linux box, the windows server does not
respond, however querying the host using rpcinfo -p <windows_machine>
shows all of the processes running. If I try a rpcinfo broadcast from
the windows machine it sees itself and using the rpcinfo -p
<linux_machine> also sees the portmapper service. I have tried
everything in the help documents, I even installed SFU on my XP
professional machine and mapped local user accounts (instead of domain
accounts) all with the same results - RPC timeout. I tried using a RH9
client and got the same timeout message. I also tried every mount option
in the world - nfsvers/hard/soft/rsize/wsize/nolock/noac and either got
the timeout message or Server could not decode arguments message.
Mounting from the XP box to the windows 2k box works. Does anyone have
an suggestions or help to offer getting SFU 3.5 talking to FC1? Or,
better yet, can someone recommend a low cost NFS server solution for
windows that has the user name mapping functionality with an NFS server?
