Thanks, I've changed my exports line to: /usr -alldirs -maproot=0 -network 123.456.789.123 and this loads ok. showmount -e now gives: /usr 123.456.789.123 however I am still getting permision denied when I try to mount it from the client. I am trying to mount it as root. Is this a permissions error? I've tried adding the client to the hosts.equiv file but that does not seem to make any difference. Any more clues?
