I try to mount the filesystem manually and all I get is an error that says NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered. When I do a ps aux, portmap is running, so that is not the problem, but this RPC is where I am uncertain. I looked at the man page section 5 at /etc/rpc and viewed /etc/rcp adn I am still clueless. If anyone could tell me how to NFS mount a filesystem from one FreeBSD box to another.... please add in your two cents, thanks in advance > Greg > Before we start (II) - please let us know what release of FreeBSD you are running. It can make a big difference in non-obvious ways. Have you told your boxes to be nfs client(s)/server(s) as necessary? I suspect that your problem isn't that the portmapper isn't working, but that the program it wants to talk to (nfsd on a server) isn't there. Look at '/etc/sysconfig' - set the appropriate nfs client and server flags to 'YES' and reboot. Then try again. Should work like a charm John -- Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key
