[comp.unix.aix] AIX 3.1, nfs mount trouble

scott@prism.gatech.EDU (Scott Holt) (02/16/91)

I am having a bit of trouble getting a mount working on a 540...here's
the specifics:

	Server: Sequent Symmetry, Dynix 3.0.17
		name, hydra.gatech.edu
	Client: 540, AIX 3.1 (2002)
	  	name, edison.gatech.edu

The Sequent seems to have its exports right - edison.gatech.edu is a
member of a netgroup to which the file system (/ocs1) is exported.
However, when I try to mount /ocs1, I get the following messages:

mount: server hydra.gatech.edu no responding: RPC: Authentication error;
why = Invalid client credential
nfsmnthelp: hydra.gatech.edu: Permission denied
mount: giving up on:
	hydra.gatech.edu:/ocs1
Permission denied


The entry for /ocs1 in /etc/filesystems is

/ocs1:
	dev		= /ocs1
	vfs		= nfs
	nodename	= hydra.gatech.edu
	mount		= false
	type		= nfs
	options		= fg,hard,intr

The message leads me to believe that one of the two machines is trying
to use secure NFS - which I know is not true (or at least should not be).
BTW: the same file system is exported to a 930 on the same network and
that mount works fine.

I'm perplexed, any clues?

Thanks,
Scott

This is often caused by the user that is on the client, requesting the
mount, being in more than 8 groups.
