<BODY>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 :)
<blockquote>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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<br>
