	Hi, folks
	There is an Alpha 2100 with OSF/1 V3.2B with a network problem.
	In fact I've seen the error message below other times, but it was
always solved asking the customer to do a new netsetup configuration.
	
"cannot MNT PRC: RPC: program not registered"
	This comes out in the end of the netsetup procedure in the 
machine that exports, and in the other machine if you try to access the 
exported path you receive a "permission denied" message.
	Can some one shed some light here ?

| 9368.1 | Is the exporter mounting something too? | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Brian Haley | Wed Apr 02 1997 18:41 | 17 | 
| Hi, >Cannot MNT PRC: RPC: Program not registered This is the error you get when nfsd is running, but mountd isn't. Is your "exporter" also setup to mount something from another server? /sbin/init.d/nfsmount does a 'mount -a -v -t nfs', so if /etc/fstab there has any NFS entries, that could cause the failure. Another machine might not be configured correctly, or maybe mountd died :-( As far as the 'permission denied', make sure /etc/exports is configured correctly, that's most likely the problem. One other explanation might be that mountd was not configured for non-root mounts and someone is trying to mount as non-root. -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

	Hi, Brian
	You were deadly right.
	About the "RPC: Program not registered" message, there were three
lines in /etc/fstab to import directories from a HP machine, and the 
customer found a configuration problem there.
	About the "permission denied" message there was an error in 
/etc/exports file, that is:
	I changed two lines to one:
	Instead of </home     hprisc>
                   </home     dec4100>
	I wrote:   
                   </home     dec4100   hprisc>
	Many thanks for the tips.
	Cheers.
