Webmin's one of those web-based GUI admin things. I use it because it usually does well, and it makes many configs quite a bit easier. It saved my life many times when I first hit Linux and IP networking. In the past, Webmin's managed to make NFS work for me, but this seems to be one of those probs that require vi and a plea to the list... > 2) If the problem involves some files that do not exist, please list > them, maybe it's a clue that something important is missing.

Very useful info -- different from what Webmin wrote. I'm a bit far from having an NFS export mounted at boot, though. When it works by hand, I'll put it in. Thank you, Anders. -- Glenn English
