This could very well be true But..... I recieved this exact same message
when trying to mount an exported drive on a machine that had some
garbage charaters in its /etc/hosts.deny. These characters just happened
to start with "ALL" which basically short circuited any attempt(s) from
trusted hosts to use certain services. Poking around in the code led me
on many wild goose chases on the "client" machine before I started
looking at the "server" and its /etc/host* files. So I would amend your
statement to read:
That *means* the NFS server can not provide some of rpc services.
Not exactly the same thing....
Regards
Bill
