Hello all:

I have been fighting NFS on slackware for a few hours now:
Here is the skinny on my setup which is for a SOHO/internal:

os=Slackware 8.1RC3
server=file.some.com
client=pc.some.com

SERVER:
cut line from fstab:
/dev/sda6 /linux /ext3 defaults 1 2 < from $server fstab file

export file on $server
/etc/export
/linux pc.some.com(rw) # pretty straight forward here right?

Kernel on $server:
Not a desktop so I built a Monolithic > includes NFS client and NFS server
when $server fires up it runs:
/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap
/usr/sbin/exportfs -r
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd 8
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
A ps -aux of $server shows
all are running> then an rpcinfo -p shows the same"Good got NFS!"

Now on to $client:
I make sure /usr/sbin/rpc.portmap is afloat and do rpcinfo -p $server
it shows "I to can have GOT nfs"

now I edit $client /etc/fstab
add line: server:/linux /mnt/linux nfs rw,bg,intr,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
saved
as "`id -u` = 0" I then type: mount client:/linux /mnt/linux
and it appears a good mount:
I can read and write as a "`! id -u`" = "0" and everything is good!

THE PROBLEM IS:
when on the $server I want to start to lock down so:
1) /etc/hosts.deny
ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY

2)/etc/hosts.allow
portmap:192.168.0.6:ALLOW

ERROR MSG:
Stating RPC portmapper: /sbin/rpc.portmap
Mounting remote (NFS) file system: /sbin/mount -a -t nfs
mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)
mount: backgrounding "$server:/linux"
 
When I type: ps -aux I see a line in there like
root 688 0.0 0.3 1512 772 tty1 S 10:37 0:00 mount -- $server:/linux

and then I proceed to an rpcinfo -p $server and the results >> \

   program vers proto port
    100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
    100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
    100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
    100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
    100021 1 udp 32768 nlockmgr
    100021 3 udp 32768 nlockmgr
    100021 4 udp 32768 nlockmgr
    100005 1 udp 32774 mountd
    100005 1 tcp 32772 mountd
    100005 2 udp 32774 mountd
    100005 2 tcp 32772 mountd
    100005 3 udp 32774 mountd
    100005 3 tcp 32772 mountd
    100024 1 udp 32775 status
    100024 1 tcp 32773 status
shit (END)

I have to remove anything in hosts.deny/hosts.allow to be able to mount
this server:
I might add to this:
the perms on $server are as :
drwx------ 3 emf33 aknodes 4096 Jun 15 04:56 linux/
and perms on $client are as :
drwx------ 3 emf33 aknodes 4096 Jun 15 04:56 /mnt/linux/
so I am @ a loss here folks...................

If I missed anything here please let me know:
