NFS configuration issues

[dictum9]

On the NFS client, the /etc/dfs/dfstab file that works is:

share -F nfs -o anon=0,rw=nfsclient.com/sidpers/reports

However, this breaks the system. The client does not have permissions to mount the filesystem. The syslog file reads this:

syslog.log:Aug 6 15:05:00 nfsclient.com munix: NFS access failed for server nfsserver.com: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)

share -F nfs -o anon=-1,rw=nfsclient.com/sidpers/reports

Did you mean NFS server?

>share -F nfs -o anon=0,rw=nfsclient.com/sidpers/reports

You seem to be missing a space between "com" and the filesystem.

Right, the NFS server.

I edited out the name and lost the space.  What changes do you have to make on the client to make -1 work?

Any reason you have -1 instead of -2 for the nobody user?  -1 denies access to anon users.

-1 because that's what STIG requirements demand.
