Hmmm. Interesting. It start from the command line. I just went to /usr/sbin and type portmap and then checked for the process and it was there. user01@hostA /usr/sbin $ portmap user01@hostA /usr/sbin $ ps -ef|grep port user01 516 1 ? 15:13:26 /usr/sbin/portmap But, I don't see it running under Win2k services. Do I need to start mountd and/or nfsd through the Services? So, if /etc/exports has /pub (ro,all_squash), is there a command I can run to see if it's ready to be mounted remotely? BTW, /pub is just a directory, not a filesystem, so it's hanging off of /. Does it have to be an FS?
