I'm not even sure whether this is a bug in NFS or not. If the file is executable, this should probably suffice. OTOH, i think with the current setup, it's almost impossible to have the root f/s exported without option root=0. > It is my impression that quite a few people are using the diskless > code -- mostly to administer labs etc. with many machines where > users have the habit of pushing the reset button when something > goes wrong.

The description in the handbook was sufficient for me to get my own setup going. However, what i've been missing was a good template that could serve as cpio input for how to clone the existing root f/s for a diskless client. A plain file list is probably too hard to maintain (each time a new file goes into /etc, this list has to be updated), so some kind of a script might be better. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
