Nate, Thanks for the assist. That is exactly what the problem was. You know I fell for the tcp_wrappers trap I had read a warning about when I was configuring NFS on that server. It mentioned that particular issue, without mentioning other services it could affect. (So foolish me, I didn't register that problem!)
Well, you do learn something everyday. Thanks again. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.
