Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I am not sure if this is a bug or a work-in-progress but it certainly makes no sense to me even after spending all day scrambling through forums and bug reports... I use Kubuntu 7.10 on my fileserver as well as my clients around the house (laptops) When calling the nfs: kioslave in Konqueror (on a client PC) my logic would expect to see a tree of available shares listed by IP address or Host names same like one does when using smb:/ . Instead I get: "no hostname specified". Yes, I do have NFS shares configured on my server (etc/exports) Furthermore, when I specify the host by IP addres like: nfs://IPaddress I get some other error about authentication. Only when I configure my shares with option "insecure" I am able to browse them with the kio_nfs. I have purchased recently the hot, new eeePC which has KDE under a (mini) Xandros distro. It also uses Konqueror as a file manager and as seen in the attached screenshot it can browse NFS shares as well as samba shares "out-of-the-box" even WITHOUT enabling the "insecure" option on the server side. My friend uses OpenSUSE and his Konqueror behaves the same like my Kubuntu one therefore I don't think that it's just me... Attachment link: http://metricus.dyndns.org:8080

Sorry to wake this old monster : kde4.4.4 actually doesn't allow to browse nfs server with dolphin or konqueror using the nfs:/ protocol I see those error on the server mountd[5188]: refused mount request from 192.168.50.100 for /tmp (/tmp): illegal port 56116 opensuse 11.3 / kde 4.4.4 / nfs serveur in v3 & v4 : only tcp everything works nicely when mounting the share by traditionnal way
can confirm with KDE 4.6.5, openSuse 11.3
Wouah, I've pretty much forget that one :D Ok confirmed as not working with 4.7-rc2 konqueror/dolphin said there's an error. In the nfs server log I found that Jul 25 13:47:52 yoda rpc.mountd[4910]: refused mount request from 192.168.103.131 for /media/backup1t/mirror (/media/backup1t/mirror): illegal port 45431 Jul 25 13:47:52 yoda rpc.mountd[4910]: refused mount request from 192.168.103.131 for /media/sysrescuecd (/media/sysrescuecd): illegal port 45431 There's another unvisible error here, the request mount should have been made by ipv6 protocol and not ipv4 when I used the mount described in /etc/fstab yoda:/srv/mirror /ioda/mirror nfs noauto,defaults,soft,rw,posix,noatime,nodiratime,mountproto=tcp6 0 0 everything works ... The nfs server didn't used nfsv4 nor gssapi not kerberos, it's a simple nfsv3
This is the same problem as in bug 75757 I assume the problem simply is that kio_nfs runs under a non-root user therefore the originating port is > 1024 (or something like that). Workaround from other bugreport: Add the option "insecure" to your /etc/exports *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 75757 ***
Adding insecure in /etc/exports need a root access on the nfs server. How can a simple client claim this as requirement ? If this is a absolute requirement for kio_nfs, then the message should be clearly indicated in the error box.
