I have just checked the NFS server 's system log files. It has the
following entries for the NFS mount.
Feb 9 09:02:32 Dataserver2 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
192.168.42.248:615 for /Datafiles1/rhiso/es-3 (/Datafiles1/rhiso)
One more thing I need to mention is that I put the update iso image
(rhel-3-U1-i386-ws-disc1.iso) also inside that directory. Does this
caused the problem?
