I'm trying to mount /data from a client (router).
Immediately it gives me: access denied.

I've been googling for couple of weeks now without solution/fix.

From the client rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.2 shows:
portmapper
mountd
nfs
status
nlockmgr

Portmapper on the client is running.

On the server:
/etc/hosts.allow --> ALL:ALL
/etc/hosts.deny is empty
/etc/exports --> /data router.deception.lan(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/proc/fs/nfs/exports -->
# Path Client(Flags) # IPs
/data router.deception.lan(rw,no_root_squash,sync,wdelay )
/var/lib/nfs/xtab -->
/data
router.deception.lan(rw,sync,wdelay,hide,nocrossmn t,secure,no_root_squash,
no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=i dentity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)
/var/log/syslog and messages give the same output -->
Jan 10 10:56:09 mainframe rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
router.deception.lan:629 for /data (/data)

Can someone please help me fix this thing?

Does the server use NIS? Do you have /etc/netgroup? (man netgroup for
details). Might not hurt to try it ..

Just guessing ... looks strange to me! More details on your server
config and whether other Linux boxen can mount the disk, would help
others help you ... my arrow is shot :-)
