* Restore use of un-connected socket for UDP mount requests.Neil Brown2007-03-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When connecting to an NFSv4 server we need to find out IP address as it would be seen by the server, to register an address for callbacks. This is most easily done by connecting the socket to the servers address and then getting the address of our endpoint. However with a connected UDP socket, replies that come from a different IP address - as can happen with non-Linux multi-homed servers - will be rejected. So if we connected our UDP socket, we need to be sure to disconnect it before using it. This patch adds an option to get_socket to say if we want it connected or not and, in the case where we do, we disconnect a UDP socket after the connection information has been used. Also clean up the error handling in clnt_ping which was getting clumsy.
* Try to make sure that clientid used for NFSv4 is reliable.Neil Brown2006-06-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to give an IP address to identify this client to the server. The current code does a gethostbyname of the hostname. One some systems this returns 127.0.0.1 or similar, which is not useful. Instead, use getsockname of the sock used to connect to the server to confirm that the server is working. This gives the address on the interface that was chosen to talk to that server, which is the best address we can find (if there is a NAT in the way, it might still not work, but in that case there is nothing we can do).
* Move NFS mount code from util-linux to nfs-utils - part 2Amit Gud2006-06-161-0/+42
Adds the support functions needed for mount and umount. This functionality will someday be available in the form of shared mount library. Signed-off-by: Amit Gud <agud@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
