Help with NFS

[Guest]

I have set up my NFS exports with /home/user ipaddress(rw,no_subtree_check)

I have the kernel server installed and NFS-common and NFS is running.

the problem is that unless I put "insecure" in my options list, my client cannot even connect and is told that authentication failed (I never even had a chance to put in a username or passwd). On top of that, even when they are connected, the client cannot delete files from the server via the nfs connection. I tried to put "anonuid= <uid>" in the options but that did not resolve the problem.

I had no problem with NFS when I was playing with Fedora and I love debian much more (it is less crufted up and more stable). What do I need to do in order to fix this problem?

Thanks[/i]

What command are you using to mount the nfs share? Does the user trying to rw on the share have permissions to do that on the server? I believe nfs uses the uid of the user trying to use the share (doesn't prompt for username and password).

I am exporting my user directory. I figured out why I need insecure. I tried accessing the NFS share via OS X's finder and I guess the port number is too high for secure.

I checked my User name and id number on the OS X machine and it is the same as the one on the server.
