Well, I've made some progress. The major original problem was a library version mismatch; this does not seem to be a good time to be doing anything RPC-related on a mixed woody/potato system.
Although everything seems to be functional now, I'm still getting lots of kernel: nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=-93 kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.23.4 kernel: lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.23.4 messages in the client's log. Based on some googling, this likely means that statd isn't running. So I checked and, sure enough: bradley:/home/dsherohman# ps ax | grep stat 11211 pts/0 S 0:00 grep stat This should be simple to fix, but... # /etc/init.d/nfs-common start Starting NFS common utilities: statd. # tail -1 /var/log/syslog Jun 19 15:39:52 foo rpc.statd[11215]: Version 0.3.2 Starting # ps 11215 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND # statd reports itself as starting, but doesn't, on both the client and the server. -- That's not gibberish...
