NFS woes...

[Michael George]

I'm still having trouble with NFS and my YellowDog server.

I have machines on both sides of a VPN.  One side (192.168.1.x) has two 
servers: one intel-based running RHL 7.1 and another running YDL 2.3 on 
an Xserve.  The other side (192.168.0.x) has a server running RHL 7.2 
with many updates.

I have NFS servers running on all three linux machines.  From network 
1, I can mount NFS from network 1 and network 0 from linux systems and 
OSX -- as expected.  However, from network 0, I can mount and ls the 
NFS from the RHL box on network 1, but there are problems with the YDL 
box on network 1.  It will mount fine, but doing an ls seems to timeout 
or something.  It takes a while to come back from an ls and it gives no 
output.

I've made sure that NFS and NFS server support are built into the YDL 
kernel (2.4.20-pre9-benh) for both v2 and v3.

I first suspected timeout issues, but when systems on network 1 have no 
problems interacting with network 0, I doubt that.

The one last test I have to run is having an OSX system from network 0 
try to mount the NFS from the YDL server on network 1.  After running 
that (tomorrow), I will have narrowed the problem down to the YDL 
server.

Anyone else having issues w/ NFS on YDL 2.3?  Anyone having success 
running NFS from YDL through a VPN?
