Hi John

I was wondering what happend to your attempt in setting up the
nfsserver? I am also trying to get it up because my client is using
openbsd and It doesnt have 9pfuse or v9fs support.

>From all the replies I seem to get a general idea of what needs to be done

I did this @the server
% aux/nfsserver -a tcp!thinktank -c /lib/ndb/nfs
% aux/pcnfsd
% aux/portmapper

@client
# mount -o soft,intr thinktank:thinktank /mnt/nfs
NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered

in /sys/log/nfs
thinktank Feb 13 07:07:05 get port
thinktank Feb 13 07:07:32 get port


It seems like I maybe having authentication issue, but not
partifularly sure where to check.
man nfsserver seems to indicate that the client should have a static
ip address is this correct?

the client are using dhcp to configure there ip. I am trying to add
static aliases to clients to see if will work, but wanted to check
everyone else's thought.
