hmm... okay, _after_ the thing "fails" (and the stuff is mounted) i have: in client's messages: Mar 15 20:09:04 sativa kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed o ut Mar 15 20:14:19 sativa kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed o ut Mar 15 20:19:34 sativa kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed o ut in client's syslog: Mar 15 20:03:21 sativa kernel: lockd_down: no lockd running.

(in the meantime, using smbfs for my needs...) thanks sean
