I am not able to mount a directory from a remote host onto my local host using mount: mount remote:/users/xxxx /users/xxxx/nfs_test gives the error: remote server not responding: RPC_PROG_NOT_REGISTERED Now when I try running mountd on the remote by typing: /usr/etc/rpc.mount it complains with: mountd: getsockname: Socket operation on non-socket Any light on why this does not work? Is there is any configuration missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Manoj Joshi manoj%hpldas5.HP.COM@hp-sde

Thanks for everyone's response on the mail. But it still doesn't work. I added an entry for rpc.mountd in the /etc/inetd.conf of the remote host. I also added an entry for the filesystem to be exported in the remote host's /etc/exports directory. I also verified that nfsd and rpc.mountd were up and running after restarting inetd. (i restarted by first killing /etc/inetd -k, and then again /etc/inetd). /etc/portmap is up and running too! Now when I try to mount the directory on the remote host, by typing: /etc/mount host1:/users/manoj /users/manoj/nfs_test I get a new error: mount: access denied for host1:/users/manoj The host1's /etc/exports file has the entry /users/manoj (which I presume should be enough for this example) The host1's /etc/inetd.conf has the entry rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.mountd 100005 1 rpc.mountd Since I restarted the inetd without rebooting the system, is there something else that should have got updated?

Mountd caches the contents of the /etc/exports file when it is started up and will not notice that you added something to the export list...

If so, did you run the exportfs program to update the exports database? Prior to 4.0, changes to /etc/exports were seen immediately. STarting with 4.0, you have to run a program to write them into the database that the mountd reads.
