Everything work fine except from the 2.2.6 box - it could mount directories on other bsd / linux machines but no one could mount to it. The only difference i could find was that the /sbin/mountd had the wrong permissions (owner root:wheel) instead of bin:bin, was half the size it should have been and several months older than the rest of the mount files in sbin - when i replaced it with the correct file from one of the working fbsd machines everything worked.... What happened? there is no other evidence of comprimise anywhere... tia rudi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
