Those are handled by autofs, not by the fstab. You can neither create or destroy a /net mount. Are your exports shared read/write, or at the minimum read? Have you created mount points on the local machine to mount the NFS directories (not in the /net directory, actual hard mount points somewhere on your system? Try this: First make sure you have the nfs packages installed. cd / mkdir /a mount -t nfs shop:/home /a ls /a What do you get?
