an NFS server is running on an Xserve machine running MacOS and i have exported
a directory i want to mount on an openbsd machine. when i attempt to mount the
NFS share on the openbsd machine, i get timeout errors:

# mount -o ro -t nfs 172.16.16.6:/Volumes/Xserve\ RAID/mail /mnt/ 
NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
# rpcinfo -p 172.16.16.6 
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed 
out

the relevant ports on the Xserve are clearly open and tcpdump shows packets
flowing from the openbsd client to the Xserve's portmap port (111), but no
responses from the Xserve.

are there known issues with the MacOS NFS server and the openbsd NFS client? any
advice is appreciated.

cheers,
jake
