Ah, the mountpoint permission problem. It's a well-known problem, and not only NFS is affected. You could get the same funny behaviour by turning, say, your /var mountpoint into mode 0700 (with /var not yet mounted, of course), and then start over your system... We should document that mount points will be best with permission 555 or something like that (the actual permissions are always shadowed later), and close the PR. At least, we should move it to `suspended' state since nobody seems to step forward and solve the underlying problem. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
