What kind of machine/os is running the NFS server? I've seen similar problems with SCO being the server. I suspect that other SYSV (non R4) implementations will be similar. It seems that SCO's nfs won't allow fbsd to make named sockets. The X-server tries to make some unix-domain sockets in /tmp which clients will use to connect when using display :0.0. If the display is set to `hostname`:0.0, the clients will use inet-domain sockets, and things will work. I came up with two possible work arounds. 1) a small mfs for /tmp/.X11-unix (if ram is plentiful) 2) a ufs image and the vnode driver. > > Is anyone aware of problems which might cause these reboots? > -- > regards Dept. of Electrical Engineering, > Clary Harridge University of Queensland, QLD, Australia, 4072 > Phone: +61-7-365-3636 Fax: +61-7-365-4999 > INTERNET: clary@elec.uq.edu.au > eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com erich@rrnet.com
