Mounting and accessing NFS volumes are two entirely unrelated things. The first is handled by mountd, the second by nfsd (on the server). I've got a terribly slow line to this host, and it mostly times out on my mount requests. According to rpcinfo -p, it's supposed to support TCP mounts and NFSv3 as well. Only one of my mount attempts did actually succeed, and i _could_ fetch files: uriah # mount -r -o -s,-i src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/public /mnt uriah # ls /mnt gopher bin@ media/ mailfilter biology/ misc/ message@ computing/ packages/ motd@ core/ politics/ profile* dev@ pub@ tmp/ education/ public@ 0-Most-Packages@ etc@ recreation/ Boot@ extra/ rfc@ IAFA-SITEINFO faces@ science/ JIPS/ full-archive-list.Z sun@ README geography/ tmp/ README.ftp geology/ ukuug/ README.layout gnu/ unix@ README.mac-users ic.doc/ usenet/ README.old incoming/ usr/ README.uploads info/ var/ aminet@ lib@ weather/ astronomy/ lost+found/ uriah # umount /mnt However, this is FreeBSD-current, and in order to support NFSv3, the NFS code has been heavily tweaked meanwhile. YMMV. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
