Different versions of NFS and automount over time and over platforms requiring slightly different config tweaks - this problem is always kicking my butt. Any relevant messages in /var/log/messages of the server? Is automount able to mount and it is "just" a permissions problem? I had a vaguely similar problem recently, trying to get OSX to access NIS/NFS, it needs different mount options in the automounter config. You say you tried with automount turned off, were you able to mount manually but not able to access? Same error message? What does nsswitch.conf look like? Generally my trouble shooting goes like this: 1) get NIS to work ('ypcat mymap' works) 2) mount NFS share manually with mount command and access as root 3) access NFS share as ordinary user 4) get automount to mount the share HTH, Dave
