Webmin's one of those web-based GUI admin things. I use it because it usually does well, and it makes many configs quite a bit easier. It saved my life many times when I first hit Linux and IP networking.
In the past, Webmin's managed to make NFS work for me, but this seems to be one of those probs that require vi and a plea to the list...

I've looked at so many on the 'Net that I don't remember where I looked or what they were.

Done, looks hopeful.

I'll put its config back to where it was :-)

Very useful info -- different from what Webmin wrote. I'm a bit far from having an NFS export mounted at boot, though. When it works by hand, I'll put it in.
Thank you, Anders.
