I'm a neophyte system administrator and have recently stumbled into a problem that has me stuck at a dead end. The problem is that I can't seem to mount a remote file system which is located on a disk which is local to another machine on the network. The network I'm talking about is a Spacstation1 with it's own local disk and a Sun 3/50 with 2 external disks. I've followed the procedure outlined in the Sun manuals several times but it always gives me this error when I try to mount a file system located on the 3/50's external disks: mount:/mnt access denied. mount: giving up on /mnt This is basically the problem. What I need to know is whether it's a problem that someone else has run into and solved, because I've tried the obvious (ie. check the /etc/exports file on the server, check the hostname, and hostid of both machines, etc.).The Sparc is running SUNOS 4.0.3 and the 3/50 is using SUNOS 4.0 I've also tried the following things with these results: Test Sparc 3/50 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Telnet Can telnet to itself Can telnet to itself Can telnet to 3/50 Can telnet to Sparc Rlogin same as telnet same as telnet spary The 3/50 drops 90% The sparc drops 0% of the packets of the packets rup the sparc sees itself the 3/50 only sees itself and the 3/50 on the network and no other machine on the network ping the 3/50 is alive the sparc is alive. Any help with this problem is really appreciated, I've got to start connecting PC's to this network as well but first I'd like to get this problem solved.
