[ILUG] NFS with NIS

[Paul Kelly]

Hi 
 
Thanks for the tips on NIS. I changed my nsswitch.conf files and it works. 
 
I'm trying to get NFS to work now. I'm using 'Linux NFS-HOWTO by Travis  Barr
Revision 
v3.1 2002-08-25'.  
I'm trying to export the /home directories of my users, eg /home/tom to the
client.  
As far as I can see they are not exporting.  
In the server configuration in my /etc/exports file I have listed the following:

 
/home/tom 10.0.0.4(rw,async) 
/home/keith 10.0.0.4(rw,async) 
/home/john 10.0.0.4(rw,async) 
/home 10.0.0.4(rw) 
 
then I edited my /etc/host.deny file: 
 
portmap:ALL 
lockd:ALL 
mountd:ALL 
rquotad:ALL 
nstatd:ALL 
 
then my /etc/host.allow 
 
portmap: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
lockd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
rquotad: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
mountd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
statd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
 
I checked to make sure all the daemons were running with rpcinfo -p localhost

 
On the client I append to my /etc/fstab file thye following: 
 
kells.example.com:/home/tom /studentshare/home nfs rw,bg,intr,hard 0 0 
kells.example.com:/home/keith /studentshare/home nfs rw,bg,intr,hard 0 0 
kells.example.com:/home/john /studentshare/home nfs rw,bg,intr,hard 0 0 
 
Again I made sure that i ran rpcinfo -p localhost to see if the daemons were
running. 
 
When I login as one of the users in init runlevel 3 I get the following message:

 
paul login: tom 
Password: 
Last login: Wed Apr 14 17:02:22 on vc/1 
No directory /home/tom! 
Logging in with home= "/". 
-bash-2.05b$ 
 
Does anyone know how to fix this problem 
 
Thanks
