Rice Pudding
Today I set up a computer for the guys downstairs, running Debian
unstable. I wanted them to have access to the music on the server
so
NFS
seemed like the easiest way to go. I have set it in the past but
needed to find a guide this time around as I had forgotten some of
the steps. After about an hour however I was getting nowhere. My
exports file was correct seemingly, I had added stuff to
hosts.allow and host.deny on both the server and client, installed
portmap and twiddled with a couple of other things but still no
go.
I don't recall NFS being this hard to configure. Eventually I gave
up, purging all the NFS software and backing out of all the files I
had edited. Then it occurred to me that as Sarah's Windows computer
was already using
Samba to see the
files, I could just use that but with a Linux client instead of a
Windows one. I made SMB passwords for the boy's accounts and
restarted samba and there was the music all ready to go. It bothers
me that I couldn't export a share using NFS, at this point that
sort of thing shouldn't be hard for me to do but oh well.
I want to make Rice Pudding. The old fashioned kind with a touch of
nutmeg and some cinnamon and of course raisins. I am not sure if
stove top or baked is the way to go though and my Mom, the recipe
queen has never made it from scratch. Maybe
Donna knows...
