Hi -
My orignal post is at the tail-end of this message, however my solution was
provided by Joe Morris (jwmorri@aftterlife.ncsc.mil): He suggested expressly
exporting to the client. Like Joe mentioned in his mail, this isn't the best
method around this problem, but it works...
Other suggestion went like this:
On the Server
o Repush NIS Maps
o Check permissions on /etc/exports are ok
o Check contents of /etc/exports
o Check contents of /etc/bootparams
o Check contents of /etc/netgroups
o Check permisions of /export/exec and /export/swap, if neccessary change
mode with chmod
On the Client end
o Check /etc/fstab for proper server name
o Check /etc/hosts for proper server name
I would like to thank the following people for helping out with
the problem:
<stern@sunne.East.Sun.COM (Hal Stern - NE Area Systems Engineer)>
<pablo@elijah.crcc.uh.edu (Mohammed Moin Uddin)>
<jwmorri@afterlife.ncsc.mil (Joe Morris)>
