That means, if I run the nfs client software from FTP Software, I will get this problem, right? I have to check this, but I think you are right. It is possible, that the error on "rpcinfo -b nfs 2" (even on localhost) only appears after a mount from the FTP inc client. I rebooted the machine and tried "rpcinfo -b nfs 2" and there was no error message, but there was no try to mount from the PC before. /\/\ichael Ranner - rmike@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at http://www.sbox.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rmike/ . . + + . - - - - - ----* . . + Where there's foo, there's fire!
