I have done all that stuff, and not only do I get "no such file or directory" with nfs4, but wireshark tells me the server if still using v3. All the things in that document were done, I did change "nobody" to "nfsnobody" in idmapd.conf and restart, but that make no difference. It seems no one I can reach has actually ever made nfsv4 work on FC9, even thought it's documented to do so. Probably another thing a level ten guru can do using some trick never documented. Thanks much for the link to the doc, I can now feel comfortable that I didn't miss something. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
