There's something else still lurking. > Thanks. ok, one more post on this topic, then i'll shut up. as i've mentioned more than once, you can't do this in /etc/sysconfig/nfs: MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no" you can, however, do this: #MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no" in short, if you try to deactivate NFSv1 support, you will get an error trying to start rpc.mountd. however, if you look ever *further* down /etc/sysconfig/nfs, you see: # Optional arguments passed to rpc.nfsd. See rpc.nfsd(8) # Turn off v2 and v3 protocol support RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3" # Turn off v4 protocol support #RPCNFSDARGS="-N 4" ok, so what if i try to deactivate NFSv1 support there as well with: RPCNFSDARGS="-N 1 -N 2 -N 3" # service nfs start Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: 1: Unsupported version [FAILED] # ok, that's telling me that referring to NFSv1 is simply an error, and references to it should be either removed or ignored, such as from /etc/init.d/nfs. does that make sense? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
