Yes it does. Which makes it all very strange. Looking back at the original message: if /etc/exports is /nfsroot 192.168.17.0/255.255.255.0(ro) /mnt/nfsroot 192.168.17.0/255.255.255.0(ro) then hostname lookup shouldn't matter. Also: Oct 29 09:25:44 paris rpc.mountd: Fake hostname paris.bim for 192.168.17.4 - forward lookup doesn't match reverse Oct 29 09:25:44 paris rpc.mountd: refused mount request from 192.168.17.4 for /nfsroot (/): no export entry Oct 29 09:29:09 paris rpc.mountd: export request from 127.0.0.1 Oct 29 09:39:37 paris rpc.mountd: refused mount request from paris.bim for /nfsroot (/): no export entry seems to indicate that at 09:39:37 hostname lookup did the right thing. But either way, "no export entry" was found. What is in /var/lib/nfs/?tab ??
