NFS access denied

[Timothy P. Jackson]

Hello everyone!

I have two HP-UX systems. One is an rp5470 and the other is an rp7410. The rp5470 is running HP-UX 11.00 and the rp7410 is running HP-UX 11.11.

If I nfs mount a drive to the rp7410 from the rp5470 and then try to tar file in to the nfs mounted directory, it will create the initial directory but any thing that resides under that directory I get "cannot create - permission denied"

This is wierd because if I nfs mount a directory to the rp5470 from the rp7410 it seems to work just fine.

I have to be able to nfs mount files to the rp7410 from the rp5470 and have them function correctly! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
you need to check the ownership of the directory you are nfs exporting. Also what id are you using to create the files on the nfs mounts.

Most likely you uids for the two sides are different and/or the directory exported has different ownership.
also check the permissions.
thanks

Hi,

especially with root-access:
root from one system sometimes isn't the same like the root from another system.
You can test, if it's better to create the directory first, change the permissions to 777 and then try to create the tar-file.

How did you try to export file system in rp7410. What is the file permission for directories and sub-directory in it. exportfs -v what you are getting?

Post the steps you have tried.
