Don't block it.
The portmapper works just fine over TCP. rpcinfo -p returns all the information it should when UDP is blocked. It would seem that when performing an actual mount, though, a TCP connection to the portmapper is never attempted. As I said, I've tested 3 other distributions that work fine when I do this, so there has been some change in behavior to cause this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
