Still having problems, I'm afraid. I've managed to get rid of the
"permission denied" errors, but still no success otherwise. I've setup
the exports files like so:
On cougar:
/ -alldirs -mapall=root dolphin 206.27.167.254
On dolphin:
/ -alldirs -mapall=root cougar 206.27.167.253
The IP addresses are good, by the way. We use a bit of ppp negotiation
trickery to always obtain the same dynamic IPs on connecting to our ISP.
I'm running mountd with the flags "-l -r -n", and nfsd with the flags
"-r -u -t -n 4".
Anyway, mountd on the server machine reports successful mounts from the
client, but the client simply hangs, never returning to the shell prompt.
I've tried various comands to do the mount (/testnfs is a small directory I
created for testing purposes):
mount -t nfs cougar:/testnfs /mnt
mount_nfs -T -i cougar:/testnfs /mnt
and so on and so forth. Same results each time. Frankly, I'm baffled.
