List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: In my first post (you might not have seen it) I indicated that I had checked the hosts.deny/hosts.allow and turned off ipchains and iptables. It is usually an obvious thing. The obvious thing I forgot to do was to check the log files. Here is what appears to be the issue: Feb 17 16:19:15 chance rpc.mountd: refused mount request from 10.0.0.10 (private-10.swlink.net) for /var/www/html (/var/www/html): no DNS forward lookup Feb 17 16:22:07 chance rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 10.0.0.57:958 for /var/www/html (/var/www/html) Feb 17 16:22:16 chance rpc.mountd: refused mount request from 10.0.0.10 (private-10.swlink.net) for /var/www/html (/var/www/html): no DNS forward lookup RedHat is trying to look up the host that it is exporting to? I don't have this issue though when mounting on a debian box. There is nothing in the /etc/host file. So this is still somewhat mysterious. I am going to put an entry in /etc/hosts for the mandrake box and see what happens. Thanks reminding me. It is usually the obvious things. It worked. Any ideas as to why the nfs server would differentiate between the mandrake clients and the non-mandrake clients (RH and Debian)?
