IIRC (it's been a long time), the RPC stuff needs to be running for nfs locks, status, etc. Are they? I can't confirm this because I don't have any nfs stuff running. But I don't recall whether server/clioent needs any/all on one or both. Anyway, that and portmap? Not sure. /etc/hosts/{deny,allow} come into play if portmap is in use. I don't recall dinking with the nfs service, so I ps'd it. rpc 2284 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 portmap rpcuser 2310 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 rpc.statd root 2356 1 0 05:36 ? 00:00:00 rpc.idmapd Maybe that gives a clue?
