by I have setup a network of Pentium boxes running Linux 1.2.1.
I am trying to remote mount file systems across machines.
Sometimes they mount o.k., but sometimes they don't mount.
My machine will mount certain filesystems o.k., but others
it will not mount. Here is the error message on my machine
when I try to 'mount -a':
# mount -a
mount: lanczos:/home2 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
mount: rssim:/home1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
mount: lanczos:/scr2 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
mount: rssim:/scr1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Here is my /etc/fstab:

Here is the /etc/exports file on lanczos:
# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.
/home2 maxwell.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/home2 cauchy.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/home2 rssim.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/home2 ampere.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/scr2 maxwell.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/scr2 cauchy.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/scr2 rssim.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
/scr2 ampere.cdsp.neu.edu(rw,root_squash)
Is there a way to background the remote mounting so that it
doesn't take forever to boot if there is a problem?
Thanks in advance,
