The NCDs are trying to mount an exported directory and fail with the error "Permission Denied." Mountd on the server is running with the -n flag but doesn't appear to be servicing the mount requests. If I have a BSDI machine set up exactly the same way, the NCD is quite happy to mount the exported filesystems. For some reason, the FreeBSD machine is denying the NCDs mount permission. At least that's what I think I've narrowed it down to (I checked all of the actual file permissions, which are fine). -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.
