Probably not related, but I see those errors on my NFS clients from time to time. It's usually when: A - The server is using 90%+ of the CPU B - the network traffic is very high. I run into case B when running too many XDMCP terminals on a hub (I need a switch), or using things like openmosix on the same network as NFS. Odd that it would only show up now, though. Chris
