 lemme guess that limit is 250 something :)
 
Probably 255. :-)

  Well, the problem is abated for the nonce, but it is a curious one.

 I think we all just found out why it uses netgroups :)

 I just migrated a user to linux.  I set up a user account on the

 So her nfs client is working.  The Server's knfsd seems to be working.
 I am able to mount my own share in /home on the server.
 
 But every time I try to mount this one, I get a single error mesage
 
 "Permission denied"

and the dir permissions are not unusual?
 
 Now the share is in fstab set up by linuxconf, and the common share
 mounts at boot
 
 But the home share gives TWO fail messages at boot--identical ones.

what's the log on the server say?

 Umm --HELP?

I had a similiar problem, could mount a share from one box but not another
identical box.  I added an entry into /etc/hosts.allow for the second and
WHAMMO it worked.  Saw something about the portmapper using tcp_wrappers now,
and I guess that's true, but why only for one machine?  Both are trusted hosts,
almost identical in setup, even installed on the same day off of the same NFS
tree.  Then the same intermittent problem showed up on another 14 boxen; some
worked, some didn't.  I ended up adding a

ALL: my.domain.here

to /etc/hosts.allow, and now all are happy.  Beats me why, but it works.
