Ralph, Interesting read. I'll check that out later. Sometimes developers have ways of sneaking things in. Happens on all distros I think. OK, so as per your idea I'm now sitting at the server (dragonfly) itself. I'm trying to mount the NFS export in my home directory. I've changed fstab on the server to add this line: dragonfly:/MusicLib /home/mark/NFStest nfs noauto,user,ro,_netdev 0 0 As user or root I attempt the mount. It doesn't work but I am getting a different message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount NFStest/ mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ This is a different message. At least the server is not down! The directory is exported: dragonfly mark # exportfs /MusicLib Dragonfly dragonfly mark # I currently have this (slightly changed from earlier posts) in /etc/exports: dragonfly mark # cat /etc/exports # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5). /MusicLib 192.168.1.55(ro,sync,no_root_squash) dragonfly mark # Brett recommended (Thanks Brett!) I take a look at the LinuxDoc.org NFS-HOWTO. I found it here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html It raises two issues I hadn't considered: 1) Whether inetd is running. (it is not on my Gentoo server. It probably was on the FC2 server) 2) The contents o the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. Where are these files? They do not seem to be present on my machine? Should they not be created by some part of the baseline system install? Obviously they haven't stopped the machine from doing most of what it needs to do but possibly they are effecting this? Is inetd required on the server? Maybe I need to emerge this? dragonfly mark # qpkg -I | grep inet dragonfly mark # dragonfly mark # emerge -s inetd Searching...
