Sharing a CD-ROM over the network
My process was to firstly mount the CD-ROM drive.
Next to edit the /etc/exports and add /mnt/cdrom "IP Address"(ro,no_root_squash)
Then run exportfs -ra and restart nfs.
Went to remote machine and created a folder called "nfs" and attempted to manually mount with "mount "IP Address":/mnt/cdrom /nfs
And I receive this message: "mount: IP Address:/nfs failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
I'm using NIS and this is working fine on both machines. The folder permission on "nfs" is 777 and the CD-ROM /mnt/cdrom is 555.
Where am I going wrong? I've looked at lots of atricles and examples and none are really helping!
