'portmap' is started up by /etc/rc before any of the other daemons, and mountd doesn't report any problems with my /etc/exports file. If I try to NFS mount a filesystem from the other FreeBSD box (where everything works just fine), I'll get: NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive Doing a 'showmount' gives me: RPC: Port mapper failureCan't do Mountdump rpc If I kill the portmap process and restart it, I get these messages (timestamp removed): aries portmap[252]: svc_run: - select failed: Invalid argument aries portmap[252]: run_svc returned unexpectedly aries /kernel: pid 252: portmap: uid 1: exited on signal 6 As I said, I was previously able to use NFS services between this machine and others on the local net. Any ideas? This machine is still running the 950210 snapshot with the only modification being the ncr.c and pci.c updates for Aries chipset motherboards. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
