I'm having problems getting 386/ix NFS to talk from my machine to the server which is a MAC IIcx running Apple's A/UX. Several other A/UX machines are already talking to the server so the problem most likely is on my end. The correct permissions have been set in the server's /etc/exports file. The node name of the server is nfsmac. When I try to mount the server's disk I get the following response: mount -f NFS nfsmac:/users_disk /users_disk mount: invalid fs type <NFS> I have a /users_disk directory on my machine for the mount point. There's a section in the NFS Administration manual which shows the possible errors that can be received when a mount is attempted, naturally this isn't one of them. The portmapper on the server seems to be running fine as the following shows: rpcinfo -p nfsmac program vers proto port 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100012 1 udp 1037 sprayd 100002 1 udp 1039 rusersd 100002 2 udp 1039 rusersd 100005 1 udp 1042 mountd 100008 1 udp 1044 walld 100001 1 udp 1046 rstatd 100001 2 udp 1046 rstatd When I issue a showmount command for the server it fails: showmount -e nfsmac xdr_groups: xdr_bool fails xdr_groups: xdr_reference fails xdr_exportbody: xdr_reference fails xdr_exports: xdr_reference fails showmount: RPC: Can't decode result I can rlogin to the server with no problems at all. I have followed ISC's installation procedures exactly. Also, I am using the host-based TCP/IP. Does anyone have any ideas?? Oh yeah, the following TCP/IP and NFS daemons are running on my machine: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMMAND root 94 1 0 08:23:41 ? 0:04 /etc/rwhod root 82 1 0 08:23:38 ? 0:00 netsched root 90 1 0 08:23:41 ? 0:00 /etc/inetd root 97 1 0 08:23:45 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m root 136 1 0 08:24:13 ? 0:00 portmap root 138 1 0 08:24:14 ? 0:00 mountd root 147 1 0 08:24:15 ? 0:00 statd root 142 1 0 08:24:15 ? 0:00 rexd root 149 1 0 08:24:16 ? 0:00 pcnfsd -s /usr/tmp Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting lots of grief from my co-workers about how they don't have any of these problems with their MACs and A/UX :-(. -- G.J.
