Baloney. It *does* work over mount points.  I do it all the
time. I've got a two-hard drive system at home with
Mandrake 6.0. I've got SO5.1a (afaik, the only real
difference is that it no longer requires a reg code) on my
machine at home and SO5.1 (no "a" rev) on my RedHat 6.0
machine at work. Both work fine over mount points.

I don' t know about that, never having discussed it with
them. :-) I just know that it works here.... I don't know
what your problem would be other than perhaps NFS.
