[ILUG] NFS on RH6.0

[Cormac McClean]

Hi,

I want to free up my own PC at work (currently used for work and Linux nfs and
web server) and I am trying to set up an nfs server on a second PC.

My own PC uses RH6.1 and is successfully running nfs.  The second PC is a 486
running RH6.0 that I want to use as the nfs server (partly to free up
my own PC, partly to demonstrate the power of Linux to the Operating Systems
class).
However, I am unable to configure nfs on the second machine.

When I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start, I get the following:
Starting NFS services   [OK]
Starting NFS statd:
Starting NFS quotas:
Starting NFS mountd:
Starting NFS daemon:
nfssvc: Address already in use
                                                    [FAILED]

Is this an IP address conflict? I have 2 separate IP addresses for the 2 PCs.

Also, when I run rpcinfo -p on the RH6.1 PC, I get the following:
portmapper, rquotad, mountd, nfs
but when I run it on the RH6.0 486 I don't get portmapper.

In /etc/exports I have
/home/cormac
and this appears when I run exportfs.  But, when I try to mount this
from the first PC, I get
mount:193.1....:/home/cormac failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cormac.
