Thanks to Jeff Woolsey and Allan West for responding. Jeff provided the best reasoning on why this didn't work. -------------- > Hello all, > > I am stumped! > > Two machines hosta and hostb. > > In the dfstab file on hosta: > > share -F nfs root=hostb /sharedir root= is not an option to share(1M). The above is interpreted as ro= . I got bit by this one at least once. What you want here is share -F nfs -o root=hostb /sharedir ro= and rw= also work in the -o list. multiple things in -o are comma-separated. > >From hostb: > mount hosta:/sharedir /mnt --> works as expected. > > Back to hosta: > share -F nfs root=hostb,rw=hostc /sharedir If you're going to do this, the syntax is share -F nfs ro=hostb:rw=hostc /sharedir but I've already mentioned root=. The man page for share(1M) makes this ambiguous, since multiple rw= and ro= clients are separated by colons, and multiple options are separated by colons. I _hope_ it can make sense of this mess. > >From hostb: > mount hosta:/sharedir /mnt --> Permission denied. because you only allow read-only access from a host called "hostb,rw=hostc", which doesn't exist, and hostb is not. -------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Sat Jul 24 09:55:40 2004
