It's linux 2.4.  The nfs server is from nfs.sourceforge.net, version
1.0.1.  rpcinfo reports that the lock server is running.  I noticed this
error in the syslog: "kernel: svc: unknown version (3)" and traced it
down to nfssvc.c in the kernel sources.  I recompiled with nfs version 3
support, but it still doesn't work.  Same errors (although there's no
svc error.)  This is what "rpcinfo -p" says:

insanity root # rpcinfo -p

    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

    100005    2   tcp  32769  mountd
    100005    3   udp  32771  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  32769  mountd

I'll give my debian server a go (this above is from my gentoo
workstation) and see if it works but I think I remember it erroring out
in the same place when I tried it from the server before.

Cheers anyway,

Bob
