Need help mounting NFS filesystems from Solaris onto Linux

Have you been able to access this mount point with any other nfs clients? You mention Samba, but not nfs - I'm really trying to ask whether you're sure it's a client and not a server setup issue.

I haven't set up nfs on Solaris 7 before but from experimenting with nfs on Gentoo Linux, I can offer these general suggestions:

* make sure that the suse user you are mounting the filesystem as has correct permissions to the mount point on maui. I believe that the user is represented across an nfs session solely by user id - check theetc-pbuttwd files of each machine or type 'id' to determine user ids. So if you're not doing it as root, make sure that the user id exists on the Solaris machine. If you're doing it as root you shouldn't have to worry as root's id is always 0. * Linux uses theetc-exports file to set up exported nfs mountpoints which I presume corresponds to Solaris' dfstab. One of the options to explore on the server side is 'insecure' - I don't know if there exists a corresponding option on Solaris but look it up on the linux manpage 'man 5 exports'.
