Thanks guys. Posted on this problem on 9/12 but apparently didn't ask the right question. The command service nfs restartgets me going. I still need to know why it didn't start the service automatically on the system boot. Do I need the explicit declaration in the hosts.allow file for my clients like Aldo's? > this line in /etc/hosts.allow: > > "mountd: nfsClient.com" > Robert McBroom -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=205067&topic_id=44680&forum=10#forumpost205067 If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and/or blame Darkenergy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
