Re: GNOME Login Problem

["Brian D. McGrew" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok ... so if it occurs with a brand new user with nothing special in 
the login, (unlike my login environment which is going 14 years old 
now) then lets have a look at your /etc/fstab on the client and the 
/etc/exports file from the server.

Also, if I may ask, why aren't you using the automounter (amd) instead 
of hard mounting the in the fstab?

pacemakertaker@xxxxxxxxx }
