I have installed NFS 2.1.p on my DN10000. It will successfully export Apollo directories to foreign systems (IBM RS/6000, SGI 4D25) with some flaky behaviour (on the foreign system, sometimes commands like 'ls' return no output, and the first 'pwd' after a 'cd ../..' gives error messages when working in an Apollo directory). Problem: I can't mount any foreign file system on the DN10000 with commands like: mount -o soft gatto:/ /nfs/gatto_root mount -o soft ferrum:/usr /nfs/ferrum_usr mount -o hard ferrum:/usr /nfs/ferrum_usr (the directory //dn10000/nfs already exists, but /nfs/blah_blah does not). The error message is always: mount: ferrum:/usr on /nfs/ferrum_usr: Access denied Has anyone got NFS 2.1.p to work in this way? Has anyone got NFS 2.1 (m68k version) to work in this way? -- Mike Peterson, System Administrator, U/Toronto Department of Chemistry E-mail: system@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Tel: (416) 978-7094 Fax: (416) 978-8775

I was having similar problems on my 10k, running an earlier version of NFS (the one that works with 10.1p). It turned out that NFS on the APollo didn't support priveliged ports. The NFS daemons on the machines whose disks I wanted to mount had to be restarted with the option not to use priveliged ports (-n I think). Then it worked fine.
