Lines: 27 Message-ID: <sinkr.859489032@tempermental> NNTP-Posting-Host: tempermental.cbl.cees.edu Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37836 OK. I'm baffled. I have a FreeBSD 2.2 machine in which I'm trying to use to mount some directories off of a SunOS 4.1.4 box. I understand the format: mount_nfs -P machinename:/dir1/subdir /wherever/blah This works just fine on the command line and I can even put it in /etc/rc.local despite the fact that its a HUGE kludge. The '-P' throws the whole process off because the SunOS machine insists on mounting via the secure ports versus the other non-secure ports. Therefore, how do I figure this '-P' into the /etc/fstab entry so that I do not have to mount these via rc.local? -- Robert Sink - Systems Administrator Chesapeake Biological Laboratory - Solomons, MD.
