I don't understand. Your having problems, and yet rpcinfo -p shows the correct info? If you have full NFS services running, and your system is allowed access, running rpcinfo -p SHOULD show a bunch of stuff. What mount command line are you using, and what is the message that you see(if any) when you try to mount, and what does the log say on the server? I really do not trust the tcp_wrappers(hosts.allow/deny), I don't know why, just paranoia maybe. I much prefer to firewall the ports entirely. I run 2.2.19 and this is what I use: PORTS="`rpcinfo -p | awk '{print $4}' | grep '[0-9]'`" for rpcport in $PORTS do /sbin/ipchains -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 $rpcport -j REJECT -p tcp -i eth0 /sbin/ipchains -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 $rpcport -j REJECT -p udp -i eth0 done then I have the ports blocked again on my exterior firewall. but it sounds like rpcinfo is able to detect the services, so whats the problem? Unless your running rpcinfo from a host which is not listed in hosts.deny, in which case the format of your hosts.deny may be off (service name misspelled or something). I think a firewall would be more effective. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
