NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.04) March 2009

<svr:/dir>
Enables you to specify the location of the directory.
<mount-point>
Enables you to specify the mount-point location where the filesystem is mounted.
An initial ticket grant is carried out when the user accesses the mounted filesystem.
Example
onc36# mount -F nfs -o sec=krb5 onc36:/export_krb5 /aaa
1. To verify that your file system is mounted, enter the following command:
onc36# nfsstat -m
/aaa from onc52:/export_krb5l
Flags:
vers=3,proto=tcp,sec=krb5,hard,intr,link,symlink,acl,devs,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,retrans=5,timeo=600
Attr cache: acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60
2. If everything is correct, 'll' command on the mount point:
onc36# ll /aaa
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody sys 96 Feb 11 17:04 arul
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody sys 96 Feb 11 17:11 congrats
If there is any problem,
onc36# ll /aaa
bad directory
onc36# cd /aaa
lsh: /aaa: Permission denied.
Accessing Shared NFS Directories across a Firewall
To access shared NFS directories across a firewall, you must configure the firewall
based on the ports that the NFS service daemons listen on. To access NFS directories,
the following daemons are required: rpcbind, nfsd, rpc.lockd, rpc.statd, and
rpc.mountd. The rpcbind daemon uses a fixed port, 111, and the nfsd daemon uses
2049 as its default port. To configure the firewall, you must know the port numbers of
the other NFS daemons, to ensure that the NFS client requests are not denied.
NOTE: This section does not document how to configure a firewall. This section
documents the considerations to keep in mind while sharing a directory across a firewall.
Shared NFS directories can be accessed across a firewall in the following ways:
• Sharing directories across a firewall without fixed port numbers
• Sharing directories across a firewall using fixed port numbers in the /etc/
default/nfs file
• Sharing directories across a firewall using the NFSv4 protocol
• Sharing directories across a firewall using the WebNFS feature
