I am not clear on when you get these messages. Does it occur when you SIGHUP mountd or when you try to mount from the secondmachine? One question, is /usr/home an absolute path? You have not made a /home partition and made /usr/home a symlink to it, right? (It does not look like the right error message for that.) Oh, and one last thing, why are you testing this at 1:30 in the morning? ;) Now for a question of my own, I was looking at mountd docks again and was reminded of this. Why is the '-r' option on mountd in the default rc.conf? Seems like something few people really need, or is it such a harmless extension that it is added by default (in whichcase, why make it an option at all)? Will I break anything if I take it out (I'm not using it to my knowledge)? Is there a reason to take it out? -- Crist J.
