Hi there all, Yes this is a linux-net related question!!! We have an Apple Mac with the new Unix derived Mac OS X running and we are trying to connect to a SuSE (6.4) Linux server using NFS. However the server is returning the error message nfsd : request from insecure port (ac1001fd:49167) which I assume means the requesting port is 49167!!! Can I convince Linux to accept the connection in a legal way? The mount request is the standard mount -t nfs or mount_nfs servername:/directory /hangItHere from within Mac OS X. Regards, Bruce. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
