Mohamed I agree with everybody else who has suggested that you reconfigure your network to use local addresses and to not expose NFS to the Internet. I see that you have used the option 'no_root_squash': (1) Please note that this is an option for /etc/exports , *not* /etc/fstab (2) Using this option is normally a bad idea (that's why it's not the default). It's usually better to change your configuration and/or usage so that you avoid having to use that option. Ask the list for advice if you have a specific reason for using it. (3) Using this option on a mount exposed to the Internet is a REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA. Don't do it! Please remember that there are a lot of machines out there that are just scanning the net looking for weak systems. If you're a newbie, PLEASE take people's advice and be safe. Reconfigure your system. Cheers, Dave Howorth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
