Hello,

I am having trouble with NFS and XDMCP on my system.  I am not sure what is
going on, or even how to troubleshoot it.  Here is what seems to be
happening.  I enabled XDMCP in gdm.conf.  I have exported my home directory
in /etc/exports for NFS.  I restart all services and everything seems to
work fine for a few days.  NFS and remote X sessions all seem to be happy.
Then for what appears to be no reason, NFS and XDMCP both stop working.  I
tried to track the problems down in /var/log/messages, but don't really find
anything useful.  All I find that might be useful is:

        Oct 18 11:23:56 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount       request from
192.168.0.108:1001 for /home (/home)

192.168.0.108 is infact my IP address, but I can't access any exported
directorys.  I am using OMNI NFS client on Windows XP, and it is able to
detect the nfs server running on the linux box, and even see the exports,
but just can't mount.  I have tried Labtam NFS client with the same results.
Unfortunately I am unable to get much information about the X session.  I am
using Labtam Remote X session.

I should probably note that I am using Redhat 7.3 on my linux box right now,
but this problem existed in 7.0.  I tried this upgrade to see if it would
fix the problem, but to no avail.  After a few hours of fiddling around,
rebooting etc. both services mysteriously seem to start working again.  How
do I go about tracking down this problem and fixing it?

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
James
