mountd on SPARC
I recently installed Debian on an sun4u machine, upgraded to 2.2.13 and
potato. Every so often I see this in my syslog:
Dec 7 14:55:47 foo mountd[19159]: unable to register (mountd, 2, udp).
Dec 7 14:55:47 foo inetd[115]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1
Dec 7 14:55:47 foo rpc.mountd[19160]: connect from 137.229.94.194
The message is repeated many times. What is strange to me is that
the IP address listed is the IP address for the machine itself (foo).
Why would a machine be trying to mount something on itself using
rpc.mountd, which I thought was restricted to NFS mounts?
/etc/fstab includes local filesystems (which are mounted just fine) and
two remote filesystems, which are also mounting just fine. I am exporting
one filesystem to a few remote machines, but /etc/exports contains machines
other than the local machine.
Anyone know what's going on?
