Ok ... but dselect gives me an RPC version error (I looked into it a

Well, I'm not editing out the server names/numbers because the intent
here is to make an nfs mount publically available. (I'll just filter
you at the router if you abuse me :)
So, here's what we've got. brahe is the BSDI box with the filesystem
which is nfs shared. kepler is a debian linux box, running unstable.
I've tried this on two debian linux boxes, running stable, with the same
result. All three boxes work as shown here ...
kepler:~ $ sudo showmount -e brahe.midco.net
Export list for brahe.midco.net:
/ftp/pub (everyone)
kepler:~ $ sudo mount -t nfs -o ro brahe:/ftp/pub /mnt
kepler:~ $ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /var type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /var/tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /usr type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda9 on /home type ext2 (rw)
brahe:/ftp/pub on /mnt type nfs (ro,addr=208.146.80.105)
All file operations work, I've mapped all access to a user, the
filesystem is shared read-only.
Weird, eh?
