This option is on by default. To turn it off, spec ify insecure. "secure" is the default. Edit your entry in /etc/exports to something like: /pub *.my-domain.de(ro,insecure,all_squash) I hope it's irrelevant if userland or kernel NFSD/mountd is used. I guess SuSE 6.4 shipped with the userland variant. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
