Unfortunately I ran into the same situation concerning the error message above. I *was* root when it happened. I thought perhaps the problem was that I was *su'd* to root, so I connected a monitor to the client, logged in *as* root then tried to mount the remote share (from my office server). Still the same result. To further complicate (or simplify) things, *both* machines are 5.3-RELEASE, and in fact the machines themselves are as close to clones of one another as you can get. I mention this because inconsistencies between local conditions on both machines thus becomes a non-issue. Software wise, if I install or upgrade something on one machine, minutes later I do the same on the other. Ditto portupgrades...ditto everything. Six weeks later I still cannot accomplish the apparently (maddeningly) trivial exercise of mounting an NFS share from one machine to another. Regards, -Colin -- Colin J.
