Hi folks, I'm having a problem with nfs, and I'm hoping someone out there can show me a way to get rid of it. I have a DECstation 5200 running Ultrix 4.0, and I'm trying to get it to nfs mount a pair of file systems on a DS3100, also running 4.0. The 3100 is behaving fine otherwise, and these file systems are successfully mounted by a third machine (another 3100). The 5200, however can't mount these two file systems. When I type 'mount -a -t nfs' I get: server not responding: rpc authentification error; why = bad credentials The server machine has mountd running with no qualifiers (no -i, -d or -s) and the /etc/exports file leaves the hostname field blank, so that anyone who wants to should be able to mount these filesystems. The problems began shortly after I began running BIND on the machines and, though I've checked the /etc/rc.local, /etc/svc.conf, /etc/exports, /etc/fstab and ... well, etc., I still wonder if the problem has something to do with BIND. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bryan.
