Thanks for the replys... It turned out to be a combination between not having the right IP address associate in the /etc/hosts file (I forgot I changed my client IP address and had not updated the server).
Also another suggestion was the fact that I had ALL: PARANOID in the /etc/hosts.deny file. These are both fixed and now I can mount the file system from my normal user account. I am so happy, now I can enjoy christmas properly... byeeee... John. Frank Smith wrote: > > One possibility is that the client is not named what you think.
