by I am running RH 7.3ish on the server with inetd. I am running the RH 8.0
distro on the client.
In my /etc/exports file, I have:
/ 192.168.1.0/24(rw)
/ 127.0.0.1(rw)
# the second line is just to test that nfs is working.
I have the following in /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: LOCAL
portmap: 192.168.1.2/24
I entered the following command from the client:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/ /pub/server/
After a time, I get the following response:
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
From the server, I entered the following command:
mount -t nfs localhost.localdomain:/ /mnt/
My message log looks like this:

It looks like the problem is in portmap. The nfs daemon seems to work
ok. inetd and nfsd seem ok, but I don't understand how the portmapper
verifies "unauthorized host(s)".
Please help me.
