Look in mount_nfs(8), you'll find a command line option ``-i'' for mount_nfs, but you won't find, what's supposed to go into /etc/fstab. I can _guess_ that I have to change the the line /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,soft,intr,bg 0 0 to /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,-s,-i,-b 0 0 or /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,s,i,b 0 0 or what? The man pages are not very clear about the new option style. -- Ulf Kieber <{uk1, news}@irz.inf.tu-dresden.de>; <kieber@sax.sax.de>; <ulf@maria.wustl.edu> Don't expect me to be a breeder, and I won't assume you're a fag.
