Very Computer

OK, so my FBSD 2.2.6 machine is supposedly setup to serve NFS
filesystems.  I recompiled and installed the kernel and setup the
f/s in /etc/exports.

My client is a 3.0 Generic kernel, and I get the following error
when trying to mount:

pjdepasq# !mount
mount_nfs squale:/home /home
Cannot MNT RPC: RPC: Program not registered
<it hangs here until ^C is hit)

Is there anyone with a tutorial on the setup and execution of NFS
(properly)?  I can't find anything in the handbook (grrrrrr.)

Thanks.

dmy guess would be the nfs daemons aren't running on squale.  Make sure
mountd and nfsd are running.  Also edit /etc/rc.conf and verify that
nfs_server_enable is yes.

hope this helps

This means that mountd isn't running of the host you're trying
to mount from...

Thanks all, the missing mountd was the problem!   Too bad this is
not the handbook.....

Add this line to your /etc/exports on the squale machine. The fq
hostname is
prefered. BSD likes this and Linux is not really fussy.
------------------------------------------------
# /etc/exports

/home         squale.domain.com(rw,no_root_squash)

-------------------------------------------------
Also you need your mount dir setup like so. /squale/home  so on your
BSD3 machine... mkdir squale cd /squale mkdir home You can use just
mount also.
So # mount squale:/home /squale/home
See if this works. That's how I use it.
