[NTLUG:Discuss] NFS Resolution

[Patrick Parks]

Hi guys, me again. Finally got a break from work, and was able to dig
into the problem I was having with NFS, and as promised, I am writing to
let you know what I found. Basically it is working no problem now, and
was when I thought I had a problem. The real problem was firewall,
ipchains I think. I never installed it, and never had a problem with it
before, so I dont know why it started all of a sudden. All I did was
turned off the firewall services and all is working fine with my NFS, I
love it, works great! I know some of you are saying to yourself turn
back on the firewall and I will,  but I have to do some research into it
first, before I start messing around with it. I know that I can get
myself into trouble, and block myself from getting out, or in whatever
the case, so I am going to take it slow with that. So to close on that
subject, I quess we can call it operator error and leave it at that :)

    On a seperate note, I have tried to sign up on the NTLUG page for a
    membership, and the form appears to not be working. I tried the
    feedback button to let the webmaster know and that is not working
    either. Does anyone know of another way to sign up? TIA.
    
    One other issue I am working on, and I am hoping that someone could
    help me with is permissions. I read the how to, I have a huge
    mastering linux book, and I am still confused.
    ok, I have my windows partition which is just a partition on the
    drive, not a seperate drive. I have it mount at boot time, the mount
    point is in my home directory. The owner is root, and so is the
    group. permissions are 755. I want to be able to read and write from
    linux as myself to the windows partition. how can I change these
    permissions? I login as root, and try to change the owner and group,
    and it does not allow me to. I originally set it up through
    linuxconf and I do not see an option to set the permissions there.
    Anyone?
    
    One other thing. How would I set up a directory in like /home that
    anyone could access. Any user any group read and write? I have tried
    this and have not been successful either. Everyone has the
    permissions, but when someone puts a file in the directory, no one
    can access it. The permissions have to be changed for every file
    that is put in the directory the everyone creates. Is there a way
    around this? TIA
