You can't talk to an NFS server set up like that with any non-root program in a safe and sensible manner. You can, however, set up the server to accept connections from unsafe ports. This is pretty reasonable if it's a read-only share, or you're in a trustable environment... but it's completely unsafe in most circumstances. :-) Just add "insecure" to the nfs options list on the server. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: April 18th-23rd http://linux.conf.au/ "No shit, [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - Mr. Bad -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
