My problem, however, is that the NFS servers I'm :dealing with run a plethora of OSs. Believe you me, I'd love to run FreeBSD :on all of 'em, but that is simply out of my control. The '-h' option for :nfsd that was introduced v4.0 would be a great fix for this. What I really :need is a means to make the FreeBSD client not be so picky about where the :return packets are coming from. I've since learned that this is a :long-standing issue with FreeBSD: : :http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=2858 : :http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=16239 : :Thanks, :-G Making the client accept packets from different IP's then they were sent to is not really in the cards. If the servers are replying using the wrong IP, it's a bug in the servers. You might be able to work around it by having the client connect to the server's other IP. What about using TCP mounts? :/* : Glen R. J.
