* Is NFS Running
* Is there a firewall on either host (and if so are the ports for NFS opened)
If all is good there then my last think would be why not just put your mount in fstab and skip the automounter jazz?

setup according to the build a host directions but automounter isn't
working. It's probably a typo but it's escaping me
on build host:
xeno linux-2.6.10-xenU # showmount -e
Export list for xeno:
/usr/portage/distfiles *.harvee.org
/build/gentoo/i686/var/lib/portage *.harvee.org
/build/gentoo/i686/usr/portage/packages *.harvee.org
should be open to any machine within my network
on build client:
harvee-xeno ~ # more /etc/autofs/auto.master
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2004/12/09 08:25:48 robbat2 Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
#/net /etc/autofs/auto.net
#/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc
#/home /etc/autofs/auto.home
/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc --timeout=600 --ghost
harvee-xeno ~ #
harvee-xeno ~ # more /etc/autofs/auto.misc
distfiles -fstype=nfs,bg,hard xeno:/usr/portage/distfiles
packages -fstype=nfs,bg,hard
xeno:/build/gentoo/i686/usr/portage/packages
var_lib_portage -fstype=nfs,bg,hard xeno:/build/gentoo/i686/var/lib/portage
basically the same as the documentation. I only substituted build for
mnt. the how-to on using automounter gives some sketchy instructions
but nothing on debugging or diagnostics.
Any suggestions or should I go dig out my circa 1992 O'Reilly NFS book?
