Hi all,

I made a new installation of `uname -a`:

FreeBSD ... 2.1.0-950726-SNAP FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP #0 ...

which I wanted to use as an NFS client. The appropriate parts of the
kernel configuration are:

options         INET                    # InterNETworking
options         MROUTING                # Multicast routing
options         FFS                     # Berkeley Fast Filesystem
options         NFS                     # Network Filesystem

The network runse fine, i.e. all inet services are well off:
telnet/rlogin, ftp, ping, etc... But when I try to mount an NFS with
the following command:

mount -t nfs existing-host:/nfsdir /mnt

I get the message:

NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered

and the process hangs for(almost)ever, i.e. until I'll stop it. So,
what am I doing wrong? The portmapper runs in the background as it
should be, `ps -ax`:

...
18617 ??  IWs    0:00.07 portmap
18626 ??  IW     0:00.00 nfsiod -n 4
18627 ??  IW     0:00.00 nfsiod -n 4
18628 ??  IW     0:00.00 nfsiod -n 4
18629 ??  IW     0:00.00 nfsiod -n 4
...

Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong?

thanks,
-Gunther Schadow
