portmap is not running

[Amit_44]

hi Guys,

I am not able to mount the nfs share its giving the permission dined error.
after checking the rpcinfo -p found that the portmap is not running. even the binary of the portmap is not there.

could any one assist in this.

thanks in advance,
amit

Hi Amit,

The portmap should be started via the NFS init script (/sbin/init.d/nfs.server). I'm not sure about the missing rpcbind binary.

Unless you are running a very old version of HP-UX, portmap functios have been replaced by rpcbind. Man 1m rpcbind for details. If rpcbind crashed (or were killed with kill -9) no cleanup would be done and you could not restart the daemon.

yess, thats correct.

my main proble is, am not able to mount the NFS share, its giving me the "permission dineied" error and there is no other error.

#exportfs
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/hp2006-d5g -anon=2,access=hp2006-d5g

#mount -F nfs 10.208.131.58:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/punhp2006-d5g /test
Permission denied

amit,
unless you have a typing mistake your mount point names don't match!
You are exporting hp2006-d5g but trying to mount punhp2006-d5g.

Please confirm typing mistake.

[Amit_44]

sorry,

there is no typing mistake. while editing the server name it happened.

Hi,

Ensure correct permissions in /var/adm/inetd.sec.

[Amit_44]

#cat /var/adm/inetd.sec
dtspc allow 127.0.0.1 loopback hp2600-d5h

Is it okay?

Amit,

Yes, that's correct.

Also make sure the shared directory is at least o+r (e.g. 'chmod o+r /nfsshare').

# ls -ld /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/hp2006-d5g
drwxrwxrwx 2 bin bin 96 Jan 4 11:52 /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/hp2006-d5g

no luck.
