I have a developing problem.  It seems to be getting worse every day,
so I hope someone has an idea.  I was having problems remotely mounting a 
cdrom directory from my 1.1.5.1 machine wheere it's resident, to my 2.0 
machine.  I would get a symptom of mountd's being created once a second, 
and no way I could find to stop it.  The mountd's are being created on 
the 1.1.5.1 machine.

Yesterday, this happened on NFS mounts of normal directories, so I 
disabled nfs in /etc/netstart, and I've been looking for the problem.
Today, I did a showmount, and the mountd processes started being 
created.  They get created, in all cases, at the rate of about 1 per 
second, far too fast for killing.  I don't know yet what's causing this.
Help!
