1 I'm mount /home off of a box via NFS. So far, it seems to be working but
2 having a few issues.

4 On www (192.168.10.38) /var/log/messages I see this sometimes:

24 On clutter (192.168.10.50) I see this sometimes:
25
26 Oct 3 11:31:11 clutter rpc.mountd: dump request from 192.168.10.50
27
28 DNS is ok, both A and PTR records are accurate.
29
30 I am *not* using tcp wrappers, so I don't have an /etc/hosts.allow or
31 /etc/hosts.deny
32
33 'showmount' shows me this, though..
34
35 clutter home # showmount
36 Hosts on clutter:
37 192.168.0.2
38 192.168.0.3
39 192.168.0.47
40 192.168.10.38
41 dhcp170.pbp.net
42 dhcp179.pbp.net
43 dhcp183.pbp.net
44 www.pbp.net
45 clutter home #
46
47 Only 'www.pbp.net' is actually mounting it at this time. Its IP is
48 192.168.10.38. The others in the list have mounted it in the past, but
49 not for months. I don't know why they're showing up there at all.
50
51 The /etc/exports on clutter (the NFS server) is this:
52
53 /home 192.168.10.38(rw,async)
54
55 The /etc/fstab entry on www (the web server) is this:
56
57 clutter.pbp.net:/home /home nfs rw,hard,async 0 0
58
59 the NFS box seems to be ok on resources.

72 The thing I'm most concerned about are the messages that I noted above.
73 I searched the forums and didn't see anything, and Google brought up
74 some Debian list posts but no actual solutions or further information.
75
76 Anyone seen these before?
