I recently installed Debian on an sun4u machine, upgraded to 2.2.13 and potato. Every so often I see this in my syslog:
Dec 7 14:55:47 foo mountd[19159]: unable to register (mountd, 2, udp). Dec 7 14:55:47 foo inetd[115]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1 Dec 7 14:55:47 foo rpc.mountd[19160]: connect from 137.229.94.194 The message is repeated many times. What is strange to me is that the IP address listed is the IP address for the machine itself (foo). Why would a machine be trying to mount something on itself using rpc.mountd, which I thought was restricted to NFS mounts? /etc/fstab includes local filesystems (which are mounted just fine) and two remote filesystems, which are also mounting just fine. I am exporting one filesystem to a few remote machines, but /etc/exports contains machines other than the local machine. Anyone know what's going on? Chris -- Christopher S.
