not a stupid question at all. as i'm still new to f11 alpha (as
we all are), perhaps there's some kind of firewalling beyond iptables
that i don't know about. i've explicitiy turned off iptables as this
is on a local network.
also, from my original post, i don't think it's any kind of
firewalling as "netstat" shows me that, even though mountd and nfsd is
running, there is *nothing* listening at port 2049. i've never seen
that before. i've always understood that an NFS server will be
listening at that port so it's puzzling.
i checked on our regular RHEL4 server and, sure enough, netstat
shows lots of 2049 port listening. as another test, i tried "telnet
localhost 2049" on the f11 alpha box. nothing. this is just weird.
what am i missing?
