Mounting NFS

[sym]

I know that the answer to this is really simple, but I just can't remember it.

I need to mount a linux partition of a remote machine. I am trying:

mount -t nfs <ip address>:/<dir name> <mount pt>

It keeps coming back that the connect was refused because of "permission denied". I did RTFM, and I still didn't see how to provide login info with the connection.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you root? Also check to make sure that the NFS server is running properly on the other machine and that the correct shares are listed in /etc/exports.

Good luck
