Lines: 13 Message-ID: <sfurber.6.000A09A0@rip.psg.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sfurber.rain.com X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev A] I am using PC-NFS v5.1 (SunSelect) on an MS-DOS machine (name = "alif") to mount an NFS file system running on FreeBSD (name = "center"). I am able to ping, telnet and ftp but mounting is having problems. Whenever I try to mount from alif (the PC), a mountd process is created on center. A moment later another mountd is created. Within a minute or two several dozen mountd's have been created. Pretty soon, the table is full and I can't even reboot or halt. In the meantime, on alif, there are no messages as to why the mounting failed. (At one time I saw a "Can't register..." error message, but I have not seen one today.) Any ideas on what is causing the proliferation of mountd's?
