I have narrowed my problem with Communicator down to the fact that my home directories
are mounted via NFS. I do not have solution as of yet, but if you are using NFS for
home directories, could I get some info? Basically a copy of your /etc/exports file on
the NFS server, and what version of nfsd is on the server and the version of mount on
the client.
BTW, my problem is Communicator locks up whenever I try to open a new e-mail to be
sent. Basically I cannot reply or write new e-mail.This does not happen on my home
Slink setup. I only see the problem on the cluster of Slink machines I work with at
school.
