I'm struggling for more than 3 hours to "catch" the problem. Please help if you have any idea about what's happening. I'm running this version: FreeBSD site.my.net 2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0: Fri Oct 9 09:19: 29 EDT 1998 root@site.my.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/SITE i386 I have this exports file: (I intentionally used operating systems names and versions, instead of the actual names of the clients, to give you a better idea.) #/etc/exports file /array/consulting/tara digital4.0 /array/site digital4.0 /array/site solaris2.5 /array/site hpux10.20 /array/site aix4.1 /array/togo -maproot=0 aix4.2 /array/projects/mydir everything works fine up to the last line. the following command fails on both solaris2.5 and hpux10.20: mount -F nfs site:/array/projects/mydir /mnt The message I get on the client is: "Permission denied" Confusing enough, if I do the same on a Linux box: mount -t nfs site:/array/projects/mydir /mnt and the directory is mounted successfully. Self mounting from site to site (through NFS) works to. Nevertheless, site:/array/site is mounted just fine on both solaris2.5 and hpux10.20 Can anybody explain to me what's wrong here?! Mountd -d (on site) doesn't return any explanatory messages when I get permission denied on the client machines.
