Post subject:  First Snow Leopard 'glitch'
I have a minor issue and a fairly big problem...
I don't appear to be able to mount NFS shares from my Solaris server by using the "Connect to server" window under the "Go menu in Finder :( Just sits there and does nothing...When I try to mount using the `mount` command in the Terminal it just says permission denied...
Also, when I SSH to the same server, it seems to take ages to display the prompt for the password. I SCP'd a file across and was getting 33mb/s so speed isn't an issue, the server isn't reporting errors and nothing has changed on it for the last month. the only thing that has changed is Snow Leopard on the Mac...

I noticed that nfsd and sshd aren't running by default, so I'm wondering if that's an issue in either/both cases?

Any advice?
Thanks :D
Ben

Went to the Apple retailer in Cardiff today, I started asking about have they changed nfsd or something in Snow Leopard, the guy came back with "Yeah maybe, they've changed the gamma...", I was thinking "I bloody know that! Tell me something I don't know!"

Could someone running Leopard please run this command in the terminal:
Code:
ps -ef | grep -i nfs

And post back the result?

None of it is harmful, here is the first paragraph of the manual for each command (which you can use "man <command>" to see for yourself):
Quote:
The ps utility displays a header line, followed by lines containing information about all of your processes that have controlling terminals.

Quote:
Grep searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named, or the file name - is given) for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN. By default, grep prints the matching lines.


Many thanks :)

501 1407 1394 0 0:00.00 ttys000 0:00.01 grep -i nfs

Means nothing to me, but I know about you hacker CLI types, it's probably my bank details or summint...

Cheers guys, I figured it out earlier today (currently using free night internet on my phone so couldn't reply sooner...

Prof, all I can really say about your machine is that your running as the first user who is probably an admin user, as is Nick and KW...

Nick, each column means the follwing:
Code:
  UID   PID  PPID   C     STIME TTY           TIME CMD
  501   921   905   0   0:00.00 ttys000    0:00.00 grep -i nfs


Most of them should make sense (UID User ID for UNIX, PID Process ID, PPID Parent Process ID, TTY terminal the process is running in, CMD is the command), not sure what C, STIME and TIMe are, though I would guess the times are something to do with how long the process has been running and how much CPU time it's had.

I was previously using the internet sharing from my Mac to give the server an IP address. I set up an old router I had as a DHCP server for the network and now all my problems have gone! NFS is working nicely and SSH is nice and quick to prompt me for my password!

I\ll ring up Apple to see what they have to say, if nothing else they might revert behaviour back to how it was in Leopard, though I can't see it causing many people much of a problem...

Many thanks to you all :D
