It looks like the recent :changes to nfsd with the -h option would fix my situation. However, I :am unable to use a new nfsd with my original 3.x-RELEASE system. Should :I be upgrading to 4.0 in order to use the new nfsd? : :Thanks, : :kannan The changes to 4.0 involved modifications to the kernel in order to allow multiple bindings, but I can commit a simplified version of the -h option (that allows only one -h option) for 3.x. I will do this today. The changes will be to /usr/src/sbin/nfsd/ and should show up in an hour or so from this email. You do not have to recompile your kernel, only recompile and reinstall nfsd. Before restarting nfsd using the new option you have to 'kill -9' any preexisting nfsd processes. Please try it out and tell me if it solves your problem! -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
