Another possible angle is that NFS is what's going awry here. It would have similar symptoms. It might be worth using snoop or wireshark to check the traffic between these two hosts, and using "showmount -e servername" on the client to make sure that the exports are as you expect. You should see either problems with the NIS responses or the NFS interaction ... or maybe both. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
