To be more precise I've tried adding 'portmap:ALL' to my /etc/hosts.allow. I've now tried 'portmap : 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 : allow' in /etc/hosts.allow and it still doesn't work. All I end up is a message in /var/log/messages that looks fine and a 'Permission denied' when I'm trying to do a NFS mount. /var/log/messages: Apr 5 18:18:00 linsrv rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from linsrv.wgkk.sozvers.at:805 for /home/cdimg (/home/cdimg) [root@linsrv root]# mount linsrv:/home/cdimg /mnt/tst/ mount: linsrv:/home/cdimg failed, reason given by server: Permission denied I'm quite lost in this case, because I've no clue why NFS doesn't work. In the meantime my box a happy member of our NT Domain and does user authentification via NIS and Samba3. But NFS just doesn't want to work (normally doing a nfs-export means adding a line to /etc/exports, but in this case it didn't work from the begining). Any hints how I can get better debugging information? cu andreas
