[comp.sys.hp] NFS troubles

craig@stat.tamu.edu (Craig Smith) (06/08/90)

Hello.  Hopefully someone out there can help me.  Here's the situation.

We have a new HP 9000 series 345, running HP-UX 7.0, and wish to mount its
disk on another machine (a Sun 3/260 running SunOs 4.1) via NFS.  The kernal on
the HP has been configured to support long filenames (if that matters any), and
also to support NFS, using SAM.  /etc/exports has been modified to give
access to the sun for the file-system in question (/).  /etc/inetd.conf has
been modified to enable all the RPC programs.  Now, while the filesystem
can be NFS-mounted just fine, any attempt to access the directory by a
non-root user on the sun yields a "NFS getattr failed for server worf -
RPC: Authentication error".  Also, files created by root show up as owned
by 'nobody', and there doesn't appear to be anyway to grant root access
to particular machines in /etc/exports like there is on suns.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply by mail as I do
not usually read this newsgroup.   Thanks.
