You can see nfsiod process running. yes it is running it boggles my mind that it would work just fine for everything except /usr/home. accessing the home directory was the main reason for doing this! that and learning some stuff about NFS, which i seem to be. thanks for the help so far, but does anyone have any ideas about what to do? thanks again nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
