Thanks again, Anders Hopefully this is the last question......... When I try to mount the remote filesystem I get an error: mount: directory to mount not in host:dir format I've tried setting up the mountpoints in YaST2 as well, but same error. David

What is the command you're trying to run? It should be something like mount -t nfs ip.of.other.system:/home /mnt/home where ip.of.other.system is the ip number of the machine exporting the directory. 192.168.7.4 for example /home is the directory you're exporting in /etc/exports on that machine /mnt/home is the directory on the client machine where you want the exported directory to be mounted //Anders -- `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

Missed the colon out. Many thanks for your help, Anders. I've got things started off now. Best wishes David
