Hmm, don't think NFS is under [x]inetd, thus does not fall under the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny parade. I'm under the impression that those two files only play ballet with [x]inetd applications. > mount hostname:/home/shared /mnt/hostname I think in order to do "hostname" you'll have to have the "hostname" and it's ipaddr mapped into /etc/hosts. I'd try the following first to troubleshoot. mount 192.168.1.12:/home/shared /mnt/hostname Meaning, replace the "hostname" with the real ipaddr of the machine. Just my thoughts on this. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco CA 94121 http://billschoolcraft.com
