Hello, Since migrating to OS 11.0, I have difficulties mounting NFS shares as a regular user. I always get the following message: ------------------------<cut>------------------------- pan@kermit:~> mount /website/ mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. ------------------------<cut>------------------------- The mounts in question are defined with the 'user' option in /etc/fstab. Looking in /etc/init.d, I found out that: nfs: # statd is started when needed by mount.nfs Just to make sure, I verified and yes, /sbin/mount.nfs is SUID root, so it shouldn't have any problem starting rpc.statd for me. If I first mount the NFS share as root, umount it, then try as a user, it works (because rpc.statd is left running, I suppose), but if I first ty as a user, it fails with the above error message. The same setup worked fine under 10.2. Also, in order to make it work at all, I had to modify the exports on the server and add the 'insecure' flag (because the new client sends the requests from an unprivileged port). Do you know if there is a way to get the client to behave as before ? TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.
