Re: nfs v3 (fwd)
I hate to say it, but NFS on Linux has been the worst thing I've every had to deal with since SLS was the only person on the hill. Every now and then I give it a go and try to read through the v2/v3/v29384 tangle of packages and documentation for building/using. Nobody has a usable set of documentation for "current" NFS. If you want NFS, use somebodies pre-cooked design. -d "Albert D.

The v2 only or v3 too? What an odd question to ask... let me guess, Linux 2.2.xx is giving you trouble and you don't know that a fix is available? :) yes, sure. You are right.
