Both machines are on the same network segment, and neither have any onboard firewalling rules. I run the following command (on the redhat, bechet is the FreeBSD box): mount -v -t nfs -s -o ro,soft,intr bechet:/home/ftp/pub/mirror /net/mir And I get back: mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused On the FreeBSD box, /etc/exports contains /home/ftp/pub/mirror 172.17.0.18 rpcinfo -p produces: program vers proto port service 100000 4 local 111 rpcbind 100000 3 local 111 rpcbind 100000 2 local 111 rpcbind /etc/hosts.deny is empty, and /etc/hosts.allow contains ALL: ALL : allow The relevant processes on the FreeBSD box are 95 ??

I 0:00.00 nfsd: server (nfsd) (I understand, from reading the handbook, that I should be using rpcbind rather than portmap). This server has been an NFS server in the past, so I know it worked at some point. I'm not sure if I'm missing a daemon in the mix, or if there's something else I've overlooked. Any clues will be most graciously received :) Thanks, David -- Much of the propaganda that passes for news in our own society is given to immobilising and pacifying people and diverting them from the idea that they can confront power. -- John Pilger
