Problems with NFS & rsh on RTP

I am seeing two problems on RTP:

  1. NFS: I am unable to mount a filesystem from Network Appliance filer
    though the same thing can be mounted from Solaris. The filesystem is
    world mountable. I am wondering if this has anything to do with NFS
    version since the fs-nfs2 is NFSv2 compatible.

  2. rsh: I have two machines A(solaris) and B(RTP), the same user. rhosts
    enabled. I unable to do rsh from A on B whereas I can do rsh from B to A.
    The
    inetd is running and the rshd is spawned.

Cheers!

I am not familiar with the Network Appliance filer, is that an application
on windows?

If you want to use nfs client on windows to access
nfs exports on nto (or solaris, linux, etc.), you have to start
the daemon “pcnfsd” on the server side.
I am afraid that the Newwork Appliance filer also needs the server box start pcnfsd?
I think it has nothing to do with NFS version from the NFS protocol point of view.
And I think that the Network Appliance filer may not be limited to, say, NFSv3.
Could you check the its docs?

If the .rhosts file is owned by someone other than the user or root and is
writeable by anyone other than the owner, rshd will not use it. Are you
getting permission denied?

Did you get any error messages?
Could you start syslogd and log out the information by giving
flags of “-vvvvvvv” to fs-nfs2 ?

That’s what I thought, too.

HOWEVER

There is no pcnfsd file anywhere on Nto or RTP filesystem :frowning: . oops?
This makes it hard to run pcnfsd, and all my Windows users are locked out!
