Um, the expected one? :) If I use a FreeBSD client to nfs mount something on a solaris system with the noatime option then the access time does not change no matter how many times I access the file. If I then unmount and remount without the noatime option the access time will be modified. If I do the same thing but with a FreeBSD nfs server the access time is modified, with or without the noatime option. Thus I think my change accurately describes the situation, but I'm still open to better wording. hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
