That *is* interesting. It's possible that statd and even portmap will
refuse to accept requests from localhost, since your /etc/hosts.deny
says "ALL: PARANOID", and your loopback interface fails the paranoia
test.

Could you please do what it takes to make "host localhost" and "host
127.0.0.1" work on both client *and* server, and see if your problem
goes away? Either that or add "ALL: 127.0.0.1" to /etc/hosts.allow.

Hm. Things could be breaking even sooner than that, depending on
whether any of nfs-utils depends on the name "localhost"....

Hm again. I wonder if the tcpwrappers paranoia check uses /etc/hosts.

(Sorry for the resend, Jordi.)

Ok. I added "localhost" to my internal network zone file. I thought this
was bad, but someone on IRC told me it's ok. They also told me it's
really not needed (normal apps should be using nsswitch.conf, but host
doesn't).

20801:jordi@natura:~$ host localhost
localhost.int.oskuro.net A 127.0.0.1

FWIW, "ALL: 127.0.0.1" didn't help.

Ok. Apparently it doesn't help either... I have restarted the nfs stuff
and nothing happens. I'm seeing the exact same messages on the server's
logs and this on the client's when I try to use apt-get:

Aug 21 20:49:15 nubol rpc.statd[632]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from nubol for 192.168.1.1

(nubol = client = 192.168.1.3)

Of course, I haven't remounted or anything after doing these changes,
because I can't umount the share. Should I reboot the client to see?

No problem, after all the help I'm getting from you guys :)

Yeah. I did restart those, no luck.

Darn.

Well, the message is on the server (right?), so if anything, rebooting
the server (or at least stopping and starting nfs-kernel-server and
nfs-common) would be called for as a complete test.
