Very Computer

HI,

 I just installed PC-NFS Pro  on my W95 and I am trying to mount
 filesystems which are on my Solaris 2.5 x.86 computer.

 Connections are made via Ethernet TCP/IP.
 Software is well installed on the PC.

 NOW what to do on the UNIX side????

 I tried to create the file /etc/exports and also /etc/dfs/sharetab
 and then start the dameon nfsd and mountd

 BUT I AM not sure to use the correct file and also to do those 'call'
 fllowing the right sequence.

 On the pc the cmmand that I type is :
 nfs use F:  MyMachineIp-Address:/Directory-That-I-want-To-Mount

 and I keep receiving the message :  Directory-That-I-want-To-Mount : Permission denied

 ANY IDEA ?  POINTERS ? THANKS !

Hi Michel,

This may sound like heresy, but why not use SAMBA on the unix box, and
mount the UNIX file systems via SMB protocol (hell, if you've already
shelled out for PC-NFS, then what's the point, I guess).

At least with the older versions of PCNFS this was true

Also, you don't need /etc/exports anymore. Its all handled by the
configuration in /etc/dfs

Oh and one other thing. If you have not rebooted since you added the
sharetab entries I'm not sure if the rpcd runs (to be safe go ahead and
reboot, its probably safer than trying to start the nfsd and other manually
anyhow but the manual mode [if done properly] certainly should work)

HTH,
(BTW I tried to send this by E-mail it bounced)

Make sure you've authenticated yourself first, using the "Login/Logout"
dialogue.

Also remember that /home is no longer /home using Solaris 2.x, it's now
/export/home.

In UNIX, rpc.pcnfsd must be running.  nfsd must be running.
/etc/dfs/dfstab must be modified appropriately.  shareall must be run
once dfstab changed (or just reboot the Solaris box).

You need to create /etc/dfs/dfstab. Look for man pages on dfstab and share
for details.
Then you would need to run shareall in addition to starting the demons.
(Best would be to reboot machine).

I suggest that you don't use PC-NFS, you may find that a samba client on
the SUN would be much more efficient and useful.  Samba allows a sun to
emulate an MS-windows machine.  For more information on samba see:
