Yep. Try SSH. Besides being nine quintillion times more secure, it's generally included by default on Fedora systems. My first guess for your NFS issue would be the firewall. Check `system-config-firewall` if it's a graphical system or `system-config-firewall-tui` on the console and make sure the ports are open, unless you already configured it manually with iptables. If SSH isn't working, it probably isn't open in the firewall either, _even if it says it is_ thanks to a longstanding annoying bug. Try disabling it and reenabling it in the firewall config to get it to work. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
