whoa...I run CentOS as generic and simply as possible. Only thing I am
guilty of is bash shell lol. I don't even run nfs anywhere!
...my fstab:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/md1     /                 ext3    defaults        1   1
/dev/md0     /boot             ext3    defaults        1   2
none         /dev/pts          devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0   0
none         /dev/shm          tmpfs   defaults        0   0
none         /proc             proc    defaults        0   0
none         /sys              sysfs   defaults        0   0
/dev/hdc3    swap              swap    defaults        0   0
/dev/hda3    swap              swap    defaults        0   0

/dev/hdb    /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0    /media/floppy     auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

oh my, Les!!! as I was editing the spacing in this fstab, something hit
me!  ...the /proc line and the /sys line could they be the culprits that
have been giving me fits???  

ok...I'm too tired tonite...gonna stop right here...tomorrow nite first
thing, I am gonna google around see if I can find some "proper syntax"
for this -mount deal...I read the man...just bounced off me for now.

thx Les
