Most clients are opensuse 10.2 (kernel >2.6.18.8), server is opensuse 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22.17). You need to grant access to the client's portmap, nlm and statd ports in order for the server to call back with locking operations. Unfortunately, only portmap is at a well-known port (111). The nlm and statd ports are dynamically selected, and receive random high numbered port values. They are then advertised in portmap so if you are concerned about opening up an entire port range to the servers, you can see these with "rpcinfo -p". This command will show them under the names "nlockmgr" and "status" respectively. Remember these ports may change at every boot. Also be aware that "statd" is a kernel process on opensuse. Most other distros have rpc.statd as a user process. Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
