Problems Setting up NFS

Hi.
I've been having problems setting up NFS on a LAN at home.  I've read through all the Arch NFS-related threads and looked at (and tried some of) the suggestions, but without success.
What I'm trying to do is set up an NFS share on a wireless laptop to copy one user's files from the laptop to a wired workstation.  The laptop is running Libranet 2.8.1. The workstation is running Arch Linux with the most up-to-date (as of today) software, including NFS.
I have the portmap, nfslock, and nfsd daemons running via rc.conf, set to run in that order.
I've re-installed nfs-utils and set up hosts.deny as follows:
# /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
# End of file
and hosts.allow as follows:
# /etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
ALL: LOCAL
# End of file
In other words, I want to allow access on the machine to anything running locally or on the LAN.
I have the shared directories successfully exported from the laptop (192.168.0.3), but I have not been able to mount the exported directories on the workstation (192.168.0.2).
The mount command I'm using at the workstation:
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.0.3:/exports /exports
There is an /exports directory on both machines at root with root permissions. There is an /etc/exports file on the NFS server machine that gives asynchronous read/write permissions to 192.168.0.2 for the /exports directory.
I receive the following message:
mount: RPC: Program not registered
This appears to be a hosts.allow/hosts.deny type problem, but I can't figure out what I need to do to make RPC work properly.
Some additional information, just in case it's helpful:
This is the result if running rpcinfo:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

    100005    3   udp    623  mountd

Running ps shows that the following processes are running:
portmap
rpc.statd
nfsd
lockd
rpciod
rpc.mountd
Thanks for any help here!

Hi ravster.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had read the Arch NFS HowTo and did as you suggested get rcpinfo for the server machine. The Libranet NFS server is configured rather different since the NFS daemons are built into the default kernel.
Since I needed to complete the transfer immediately, I gave up for now trying to set up NFS and used netcat (!) instead to transfer the files from the Libranet laptop to the Arch workstation. The laptop will be converted to Arch Linux soon so I think I'll be able to clear things up soon.  I haven't had any problems setting up NFS with homogeneous (i.e., all Arch or all Libranet) computer combinations.
Thanks again.

  • Problems setting 'allow HTML snippet insertion' in Contribute 4

    I am trying to set the administrator option to allow insertion of HTML snippets (as described here). But the dialog box to change the settings does not include an "Allow HTML Snippet Insertion" checkbox.
    Any advice? Is this to do with the version of Contribute I'm using? Or is there some other administrator setting I need to set first?

  • Problems setting up an NFS server

    Hi everybody,
    I just completed my first arch install. :-)
    I have a desktop and a laptop, and I installed Arch on the desktop (the laptop runs Ubuntu 9.10). I had a few difficulties here and there, but I now have the system up and running, and I'm very happy.
    I have a problem setting up an NFS server. With Ubuntu everything was working, so I'm assuming that the Ubuntu machine (client) is set-up correctly. I'm trying to troubleshoot the arch box (server) now.
    I followed this wiki article: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs
    Now, I have these problems:
    - when I start the daemons, I get:
    [root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
    :: Starting rpcbind [FAIL]
    [root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start
    :: Starting rpc.statd daemon [FAIL]
    [root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/nfs-server start
    :: Mounting nfsd filesystem [DONE]
    :: Exporting all directories [BUSY] exportfs: /etc/exports [3]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.1/24:/home".
    Assuming default behaviour ('no_subtree_check').
    NOTE: this default has changed since nfs-utils version 1.0.x
    [DONE]
    :: Starting rpc.nfsd daemon [FAIL]
    - If I mount the share on the client with "sudo mount 192.168.1.20:/home /media/desktop", IT IS mounted but I can't browse it because I have no privileges to access the home directory for the user.
    my /etc/exports looks like this:
    # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
    # to NFS clients. See exports(5).
    /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=99,anongid=99))
    /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf:

    # NFS init scripts require the --no-notify flag on the server,
    # but not on the client e.g.
    # STATD_OPTS="--no-notify -p 32765 -o 32766" -> server
    # STATD_OPTS="-p 32765 -o 32766" -> client

    mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Thanks, I finally got it working.
    I realized that even though both machines had the same group, my Ubuntu machine (client) group has GID 1000, while the Arch one has GID 1001. I created a group that has GID 1001 on the client, and now everything is working.
    I'm wondering why my Arch username and group both have 1001 rather than 1000 (which I suppose would be the default number for the first user created).
    Anyway, thanks again for your inputs.

  • Problems setting up username & password for SQL

    Due to the outstanding advice I recieved from this excellent forum, I have managed to overcome my first problem with declaring a new Class.
    This leads me to request help with my next biggest problem:

    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(data, "" +
    username, "" + password);
                    ^
    2 errors*****************************
    The code works when I remove the reference to the variables "username" & "password" in Connection "conn" call & replace them with the actual username & password, but this is not exactly what I was after. I was hoping to make the program responsive to each individual user, not set in code.
    I also would like to make the program pause after the call in "main" to "PassDB" to wait for "PassDB" to exit before continuing.
    I would also like to make "PassDB" destroy itself after the "OK" button is pressed & the "username" & "password" set.
    If that isn't enough for you, I would really like the program to search 2 different database tables, return their values & compare them to be sure that they are the same.
    When I try & search 2 different tables, as in:
    ResultSet rec = st.executeQuery(
                        "SELECT Title, ContactID, First, Last, Dear FROM Contacts "
                        + "WHERE (Title='Mr') ORDER BY ContactID");
                   ResultSet rec2 = st.executeQuery(
                        "SELECT Subject, ContactID FROM Calls "
                        + "WHERE (Subject Is Not Null) ORDER BY ContactID")javac tells me that "ResultSet" is set to null 0
    As always, I am extremely appreciative of any assistance you are able to offer.
    Kind regards

  • Problems setting up static routing

    HI
    I'm having a problem setting up static routing.  I keep getting the message "invalid static route".   I have an E1550 router and my frimware is up to date.  I have tried a few different gateway addresses ie 192.168.1.1,  127.0.0.1 and my router's address on the net, but I keep getting the same message.  Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

    I think the E1550 router supports LAN to LAN routing provided that you have two local networks. If you only have a plain modem and the E1550, I believe you can't do Static routing on that type of setup. Found this link that might help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=12a84336a124498eb5d6f0204b85191e_17589.xml&pid=80&...

  • Problems Setting Up Developer Users

    I am having a problem setting up developer users and I am trying to determine if I am missing a step or if there is a configuration problem on my staging and production systems.
    What I want to do should be very simple. I want to create a user that can create an application and see the information under the "Application" tab in the Navigator.
    I have created the user using the following steps on 3.0.9.82 for Unix:
    1. Create the user
    2. Make the user a full administrator (rather than end user)
    3. Make the user a member of the portal_developers group
    4. Make the user's default group the portal_developers group
    However, when I do this the user does not see the information under the
    "Application" tab. The only way I can get the user to see the info under the
    "Application" tab is to make him a member of the Portal_administrators
    and/or DBA group. Both my staging and production boxes have the same result.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be happening?

    Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
    My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
    This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers. 
    Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies)  All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc. 
    Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
    SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
    Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches.  This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
    I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
    Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)  
    Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again.  How nuts is that?
    Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
    Kind wishes from West of Scotland

  • Problems setting up VVSA 6.0 (lookup service adresse)

    Hi,
    I was happy to see VVSA 6.0 released, but i'm having problems setting it up. It keeps saying that the lookup service adresse is not reachable. But I have tried with the VVSA 5.5 and 5.5.1.1 and they work just fine with the lookup service adresse.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Also trying to check for updates within the appliance failes since the repository is not online at vmware it seems.
    Might not be ready for primetime (like ESXi6).

    If Developer has a separate Oracle Home on your PC, then it has a separate TNSNAMES.ORA file that is uses to connect to the database. If you search for all tnsnames.ora files, you should find the one used by Developer 6.
    Since Enterprise manager works, the tnsnames.ora in your Enterprise Manager's home will have an entry for your server database. You should be able to cut and paste this into the tnsnames.ora file used by Developer, or try copying the E.M. tnsnames.ora file directly.

  • Problems setting up JDBC

  • Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

    Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
    I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
    I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
    I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
    Below is the network map.
    I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
    I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
    If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

    I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
    When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

    Hey everyone,
    Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
    We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
    Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
    Example serup of what we have done:
    Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
    The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
    Phone crashes?
    Any ideas whats going on?
    Thansk

    Hi Jim,
    Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010. 
    If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
    If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
    When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.
    More details about Set up email in Mac OS X Mail, please refer to:

  • Problems Setting up a Direct Debit

    has anyone experienced any problems setting up a direct debit ??
    I've been a BT customer for approximately 20 years and have had the same account number. I've moved house a few times and retained the same account. My last house move wasn't so successful as after moving in and having broadband re set up again... I received a letter in the post saying I had requested a "termination" and a parcel was included to send my router back etc... plus... I'd be charged £100+ for the disconnection...
    Anyway I got on the phone to BT and the advisor appologised for the mix up... and suggested I cancel my direct debit with the bank to make sure the disconnection fee wasn't taken from my account..... 
    Ever since then... I have not being able to set up a direct debit online or by speaking with several BT helpdesk staff.  I email BT asking for an explaination - NOTHING.  BT helpdesk staff assure me that the direct debit will work this time and will contact me if there is a problem... again NOTHING.  I even tried writing a letter to the head of customer services... I think the name Warren Buckley rings a bell..   Someone did email me back suggesting I use the online facility.... REALLY!!  Do BT not have a fault tracking database of customer issues... so they can see I've already tried to set up the direct debit online... 
    Anyway ..... I've just noticed this forum now... so this is my latest attempt to see if anyone senior enough at BT will be embarrassed and try and sort out my account so I can start paying my bill using Direct Debit again... I'm pretty sure all that needs to happen is to be given a new account number or an account alias that can be sent to my bank. Otherwise... I'll just carry on waiting to receive the automated message from BT saying I haven't paid and then go and pay online... But I am worried one of these automated messages will arrive the day I go on a 2 week holiday and I find myself cut off when I get home... giving me more pain....
    PLEASE HELP BT ;o)

    Ro,
    Thanks for the respone, have been playin, with MPLS for last few hours.
    The routing between the loopbacks is now working, can PING 7609 Loopback from AS5350 ,and vice versa. (used static routes).
    Having problem with TDP / LDP on routers,
    mpls label protocol ldp / tdp command works correctly on both routers, but the
    tag-switching tdp router-id Loopback0 force
    command works on the 7609, but when I add it onto the AS5350 , the command "mpls ldp router-id Loopback0 force" appears on the startup script.
    The opposite is true for the 7609 , you add MPLS LDP command, and TAG-SWITCHING command appears instead.
    Any Ideas, as different configs of this leave me with forwarding table with both tags added, but not been able to ping the loopbacks !!!
    When I can ping bot loopbacks, the OUTGOING TAG , disapears.....
    Problem is LOOPBACK Commands on bot routers default to LDP (AS5350) , or TDP (7609). Any Ideas ...

  • Problems setting up Photoshop

    I am having problems setting up Photoshop.  It has been downloaded, but when I get to the point where I need to enter the serial number, the number I have been given does not seem to fit the boxes and I can not advance any further.

    Which version of Photoshop are you trying to install and on which operating system?
    Have you perhaps been given a redemption code which you need to use to retrieve your serial number?

  • Problems setting up a Domain - javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException

    I am having problems setting up a Domain. The following steps summarize
    what I have done.
    1. Created FooDomain in d:/bea/wlserver6.0/config and created
    appropriate config.xml, startup scripts, security, etc... (FooDomain
    boots ok)
    2. Moved console.war to bea/wlserver6.0/config/FooDomain/applications
    3. Connected to FooDomain via console (works ok).
    4. Defined machine FooMachine (happens to be localhost)
    5. Defined new server FooServer (in addition to default myserver) and
    assigned it to FooMachine.
    6. Created a new directory d:/managedServers/FooServer (note - outside
    installation directory)
    7. Created directories d:/managedServers/FooServer/logs &
    d:/managedServers/FooServer/applications
    8. Copied sample startManagedServer.cmd from mydomain to
    d:/managedServers/FooServer & modified appropriately.
    9. Ran startManagedServer.cmd (Note: I was able to connect to the
    Administration Server ok)
    The problems are as follows. (From the console - pointing to the
    Administration Server for the FooDomain)
    1. I am unable to configure a DefaultWebApp_FooServer to be located at
    d:/managedServers/FooServer/applications. I get the following exeption:
    javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException:
    FooDomain:Name=DefaultWebApp_FooServer,Type=WebAppComponent.
    2. I get a similar error when trying to set FooServer log locations to
    d:/managedServers/FooServer/logs
    Any ideas as to why? This then begs the question, what if FooServer was
    on a different physical server altogether. How would I define the
    location of the DefaultWebApp and logs.
    Thanks

    If you want your application work, think my way. At least, all my teammates have used this method to build their development environment. If you are more interested to debug for Weblogic, contact your support representative. The tools from Administration console look very nice, but not function as you want (e.g., the tool to convert version 5.1 application to version 6, even monitor tools). Administration console is very nice to be used to configue the parameters for a domain, but not so trustful and not for application setup in my own experience and that is why I suggest you use mydomain and DefaultWebApp_MyServer as templates. By the way, I did modify config.xml manually to change the default web application entry, etc, to what I want.
    Jay Zammit <[email protected]> wrote:
    I did not modify config.xml manually. In fact, I am able to boot both the Administration Server & Managed Server. The problem happens when using the Administration console to assign my logs and Default Applications directory to the d:/managedServers/FooServer/logs, and d:/managedServers/FooServer/applications/DefaultWebApp_FooServer directories. Try it yourself. Go to the Configurer WebApp option and type in a fully qualified directory such as d:/managedServers/FooServer/applications/DefaultWebApp_FooServer
    and see if it works on your system.

    One suggestion. Use the default domain mydomain as a template. Just make a copy of "mydomain" in folder config and rename the copy to whatever you like. Use some help tools to search all files (non-binary files) in new domain for key word "mydomain" and replace these words with your new domain name. To build an application, just rename the DefaultWebApp_MyServer to what you like and search "DefaultWebApp_MyServer" in all files (non-binary files) in your new domain and replace these words with yournew application name. Note you need to modify the scripts accordingly. Then you can run "startWeblogic" in your new domain directory to start your new domain. Other parameters should be configured by Administration console. If you manually modify configuration files, you could expect some bad news without reason.
