Because I have yet, despite quite a bit of expert handholding, ever been able to make NFS work for anything here. No permissions returns is all I can get. Also, even though the NSF starter is being run by the bootup, it always logs the message that NFS4-MTAB doesn't exist. On the bootup screen but nowhere else in the logs. And questions asked about that on the net have now been uniformly ignored on the major lists I haunt for about 4 years now. :( >FWIW, I killed fam, and > >> things seem to be working more or less normally here.
