Thanks. This looks like information that I haven't been able to find any other way, despite looking for several months. I'm trying to try this now (firsttrying to find mention of what you're telling me in the documentation so I'll understand what I'm doing), but my nfs man pages mention options nfsvers and mountvers, but not vers. The etch man pages mentions NFS versions 1, 2, 3 and 4, but the sarge man pages (sarge is the client) mentions only 1 and 2. Of course I'll try it anyway as soon as my users are out of the way, but I find myself wondering whether these are manual deficiencies or functional limitations in the sarge and etch releases. -- hendrik > > Thanks, Greetings and nice Day > Michelle Konzack > Systemadministrator > Tamay Dogan Network > Debian GNU/Linux Consultant > > > -- > Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ > ##################### Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ##################### > Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 > 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi > 0033/6/61925193 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
