[9fans] nfsserver problems

[Michael Grunditz]

HiI finaly got a x86pc again to run Plan9. My primary workstation is a
Acorn RiscPC running RISCOS. I want to use the plan9 box as a
fileserver using nfs. RISCOS isnt unix and doesnt have any passwd or
group files , and relies on pcnfsd for authentication.When I start the
nfsserver I get "something" like thisaux/nfsserver -v -a il!plan9xmesg
104 - attach failed - authentification failedThe plan9 pc is a
standalone cpu/authserver with kfs.The auth server works just fine for
telnet, ftp etc.I can do con -l .I can mount the cpuserver from the
cpuserver/Michael Grunditz

By default, kfs does not allow connections from ``none''
unless someone else has already authenticated on the
connection.  Nfsserver connects as none (NFS has no
real authentication, so there's not much choice here)
on a fresh connection, hence the authentication fails.

You can run

	disk/kfscmd noneattach

to allow none to attach on fresh connections, but you'll
still only be none.  I use this to start an NFS server on my
local VMware network, so that my Linux VM can mount
files from Plan 9.

	#!/bin/rc

	rfork n
	slay nfsserver|rc
	slay portmapper|rc
	9fs boot
	rm -f /srv/nfs
	srvfs nfs /n/boot
	aux/portmapper
	aux/nfsserver -Cc /lib/ndb/nfs -f /srv/nfs
