I can nfs mount exported partitions. I added something to /etc/exports, killed mountd and restarted it by hand. It declines to start: > hda# mountd > hda# Feb 8 08:15:43 hda portmap[199]: > connect from 198.252.184.1 to unset(mountd): request from non-local host > Feb 8 08:15:43 hda portmap[200]: > connect from 198.252.184.1 to set(mountd): request from non-local host > Feb 8 08:15:43 hda mountd[198]: Can't register mount I undoubtably have my network set up wrong. 198.252.184.1 is the address of the mail server "hda.hda.com" on the local ethernet. 199.232.40.182 is the address of the mail server SLIP link from our provider, and is what you get when you nslookup hda.com from the outside world. The mail server hostname is set to hda.com. It seems mountd expects hda.hda.com to be doing the mount requests and not hda.com. I don't want to reboot just to edit /etc/exports. Is anyone willing to sanity check my named setup? I hesitate to send it to the entire list. While we're at it I'd be thrilled if mail to hda.hda.com (or foo.hda.com) would get sent to hda.com. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
