If this is the wrong place to ask for help, please redirect me. For now, I am only trying to get nfs version 3 to work. # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 lfs6:/home/bdubbs /mnt/test [ mounts OK ] # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 localhost:/usr/src /mnt/tmp # mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported It doesn't explain the error message you're getting, but your exports file doesn't have an entry for localhost. When I try this I get "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting localhost:/usr/src". 2. Build libtirpc Remove auth_des.c authdes_prot.c des_crypt.c from Makefile Comment out authdes_create() in rpc_soc.c ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib This shouldn't be necessary. Instead of working around the problem, it would be nice if you could figure out why you needed to do this, and if there is a bug in the configure magic, let us know. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
