[WBEL-users] NFS - RPC Authentication error - Problem solved

I have found the problem, I had to add lockd, mountd, statd, and idmapd to hosts.allow.  Apparently these weren't necessary in FC2 and so weren't in there.

My appologies if this ends up being a duplicate.  I sent this yesterday and it didn't seem to work.

The WBEL4 system is running the server and all appears ok on that end.  I can run rpcinfo on the client and it sees portmapper, status, nfs, nlockmgr, and mountd running.  But if I try a showmount I get:
