[olug] New NFS Problem, userids

[Brian Wiese]

I don't know much about nfs, but have the same suggestion with the
userid's, the client user mounting the drive should be the same userid on
the server side that has owner+write(mount) permissions on that directory.
 Since I have different usernames on my client and server, I set the nfs
export anon uid and gid's to 1000 (my userid on the server).  I'm
exporting this share to all *.bkw hosts, as defined in my /etc/hosts file
(and perhaps any poisoned upstream DNS).

--- on my nfs server (zion) ---
/etc/exports (all one line)
/mnt/hde2/20gig *.bkw(secure,rw,sync,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)

bw at zion:~$ grep 1000 /etc/passwd
bw:x:1000:1000:Brian Wiese,,,:/home/bw:/bin/bash

bw at zion:~$ grep bkw /etc/hosts
192.168.1.102   franklin franklin.bkw
192.168.1.100   liberty liberty.bkw
192.168.1.105   freedom freedom.bkw

--- on my nfs client (franklin) ---
/etc/fstab ... (all one line though):
zion:/mnt/hde2/20gig /mnt/zion/20 nfs 
user,rw,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,posix  0 0

Set up nfs mount with 'user' option so my normal user 'bwiese' can mount
the drive. (owner of /mnt/zion/20 directory).  I haven't setup much
'security' on my local net nfs yet, but will shortly.
