Tru -

thank you for the information, here is mine for the same

[root at lri-brix01 ~]# ibrix_version -l
  Fusion Manager version: 6.0.326
  ===============================
  Segment Servers
  ===============
  HOST_NAME   FILE_SYSTEM         IAD/IAS  IAD/FS   OS

and

[root at lri-brix01 ~]# ibrix_exportfs -l
HOSTNAME    FSNAME  PATH                                   OPTIONS

lri-brix01  ibrix   *:/ibrix/testing                        rw,no_root_squash
......
<many many exportfs shares>

On workstation, mount shows:

lri-brix:/ibrix/testing on /bme/home type nfs (rw,addr=10.66.200.11)

I even mounted the test share manually, disabling autofs and ypbind,
and created a 'local' user with an NFS mounted $HOME directory and it
still failed. I dont see what i have done wrong. SSH logins work, and
the directory is traversable by the local user but still can not log
in via Gnome or KDE.
