NIS Automount failure on Redhat 7.1

NIS Automount failure on Redhat 7.1

Post by Techbo » Thu, 10 Oct 2002 01:03:55



Hi All:

I was hoping someone here could help me with the following:

I have setup NIS from which I want to do several NFS mounts. However,
the mounts wont work and i am getting the "NO such file or directory"
message.

ycat -k auto.home
show the correct mounts on my client machine:
/test    remote_machine_name:/export/home/test

In fact if I include the above in the /etc/auto.home directory on the
client it works.

I have exported the /export/home/test on my NFS server.

I have edited my /etc/nsswitch.conf file such(on client as well as NFS
server):
automount:   files nis

yet it wont work:

Any ideas?

peace

 
 
 

1. Portmapper Failure on Redhat 7.1

Hi there,

I have three machines in my network, one running RH6.1 (NODE1) and the
other two running RH7.1 (NODE2 and NODE3)

My problem is while I'm able to NFS mount between NODE1 and NODE2
without an problems, I get

mount: RPC: Timed out

when I issue a mount command on NODE3.

Also, the "rpcinfo" command produces an error:

rpcinfo: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

Please see below:


   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100011    1   udp    880  rquotad
    100011    2   udp    880  rquotad
    100005    1   udp    890  mountd
    100005    1   tcp    892  mountd
    100005    2   udp    895  mountd
    100005    2   tcp    897  mountd
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs

rpcinfo: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
program 100005 is not available

However, the same commands work perfectly on NODE1 and NODE2.


   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100011    1   udp    880  rquotad
    100011    2   udp    880  rquotad
    100005    1   udp    890  mountd
    100005    1   tcp    892  mountd
    100005    2   udp    895  mountd
    100005    2   tcp    897  mountd
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs

program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100005 version 2 ready and waiting

I have even upgrade portmap from portmap-4.0-35 to portmap-4.0-41.
I have spent most of the day trying to fix this problem, with no
success. I would be very grateful with any help.

Thanks.
