Possibly. I can't speak for SunOS 4.1.4, but in the NFS implementations I am familiar with the above export only exports /usr/local/pub If a client tries to mount /usr/local/pub/FreeBSD or /usr/local/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-951104-SNAP they would get permission denied error. You could either export all the directories individually or use the export option -alldirs or -subdirs if your NFS implementation supports it. I.E. /usr/local/pub -alldirs -access=FOO1:FOO2:FOO3 Another potential problem is that the installer might be trying to mount the filesystem as root, or you might have the permissions on the directory too secure. for my OS I would add -maproot=root /usr/local/pub -alldirs -maproot=root -access=FOO1:FOO2:FOO3 -- Brian Litzinger | | brian@mediacity.com | This space intentionally left blank | http://www.mpress.com | |
