Hi Jim,
After much head scratching I limited the prob to portmap... I
thought when it was mentioning that "NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not
registered" that it was portmap related... I just didn't know how to go
about fixing it.. It happens that on a few of the machines that I was
trying to connect to, hosts.allow wasn't letting me use portmap... So I
have managed to fix that prob... I've only got one server left that is
posing a problem for me, and its doing very, very weird things... I think
completely unrelated to NFS, mount and portmap...
Thanks for the advice,
Pete.
