I have noticed that my clients are not declared in /etc/hosts if I put them in /etc/hosts (and in nis table to be useful) everything is find. Nevertheless I don t understand how the nfs can make a resolution via dns of a a client whith a private address Perhaps does the server reply it it s impossible and everything is fine to log it But thanks a lot, it s certainly the SYSTEM LOG that is implied ... I ll check it ... ...now it seems me a little bit more logical ! I was so lost that I have thought they were magical dark spirits behind this :) _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
