The problem ended up being that I was not exporting using the insecure option. I've got older OS systems that can't do thing as nicely and securely, so I have to be more open about things like NFS. I haven't had a bit of a problem since making the change this past Friday.

The directory has read, write, execute permission for the group ( which is MIS). I created a group MIS and user test on my box and try to mount it. I can mount the directory but I cannot cd to it. It says Permission denied. I have following entry in my /etc/fstab: server1:/share/share1/MIS/MDISTT /pub nfs intr,rw,user 0 0 What am I doing wrong.
