The two machines are communicating without a problem, however I am getting a strange error. mount: cannot mount Address already in use. The error is similar to this. If someone could explain this please. The export file on the exporting server looks like /usr/var/mail /usr/home /etc and both machines are running both nfsd and mountd. The command I am issuing from the prompt to mount the directories remotely on the importing host is: mount -t nfs planet:/usr/var/mail /usr/var/mail /usr/var/mail on the importing host is empty though this shouldnt matter should it? Anyhow, when I try this I am getting the above error. I have mounted the directories before using the same command and unmounted them also.. So does anyone have an idea as to what I may be doing wrong here..
