nfs issue...

[bruce]

also....

what is an "empty mount point" and how does one go about creating one!!!!!

thanks


ok..

for now i seem to have gotten the appropriate services up/running on the nfs
server... i made a change to the /etc/export file to allow a client linux
box to have rw access to a idr "/colleges/data"....

i haven't made any other changes to the server (i still can't get the NFS
Server Config app to work under gnome. It's throwing python errors.... The
actual app is the redhat-config-nfs app)

i tried to access the nfs server from the client and got a "connection
refused" message....

in reading through various threads on google.. i come across the allow/deny
files.. but i thought if the client wasn't listed in either file.. it should
be allowed...

any ideas/comments welcome..!!!!

thanks

You should have way more in rpcinfo (like nfs!). So are there errors or
anything at the command line with (last email I said nfsd, but it's just
nfs):
# service nfs start

I did a quick Goolgle, and there are several threads about this error,
although I didn't see anything explaining/resolving it. Might be worth some
'quality time'.

What does your /etc/exports file look like?
What does 'exportfs -v' show? (if service nfs start works)
