I don't think it is clear at all. I'm talking about the default configuration of nfs-kernel-server, that should at least work from localhost with no extra configuration, IMHO. If there is some reason that precludes nfs-kernel-server to work out of the box, perhaps there should be a README in /usr/share/doc/nfs-kernel-server. I looked for a hint there. If you tell me what I have to write, I'll happily do it. It says nothing about "RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5)", being shown in the _same_ host. This message is printed when portmap is bound to the loopback and when it is bound to all interfaces. This bug is about this message and why it is showing up in the same host portmap is installed. If it is not a but, I still don't know why it is not a bug. Regards, Nelson.- -- http://arhuaco.org http://emQbit.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
