Hi , 
     (RHEL4 GA on both client and server machines)
      I started all the nfs daemons including
     rpc.gssd and rpc.idmapd and exported /share
     to client.I also started rpc.gssd and 
     rpc.idmapd on client

     Server exports /share to world.
     when client tried to mount /share using

     mount -t nfs4  <server>:/share /client_mnt_point
     Following message occur in log.
      
     NFS :mount path /share does not exist.  
     NFS :suggestion : try mounting '/' instead
     
     Then i tried

      mount -t nfs4  <server>:/ /client_mnt_point

     and surprisingly it worked.
 
     When i had exported /share (it exists) how did
     client mount / and why did it give error when i
     tried mounting /share.
     
     Pleae let me know ?

thanks
 -- kiran
