Unfortunately my system was not "normal", because mountd -d returned the shell prompt, as I said. I also said that mountd_flags=-d prevents the OS from restarting. I had to restart from the serial cable, enter single user mode and clear mountd_flags. This required a field trip, because the server was on a remote location. Now the OS boots again, and mountd -d works as you said. However, this neither solves nor helps with the original problem. I cannot babysit mountd all day, through an ssh link, awaiting for a crash. I need portmap, mountd and nfsd to log into a file, just like other well-behaved servers do. Unfortunately they do not offer server flags to enable debug logs and specify a log file. They just use syslog, but then again, they do not say anything useful when they crash. R
