Why are NFS permissions suddenly denied.

Keith,

Check to make sure:
1.  portmapper is running on all systems (server and client)
2.  that portmapper started before your rpc.xxx functions got called

try this:
rpcinfo -p  (this command may not be found on some distros)
you should see nfs and mountd anyway.  If portmapper is started after the
programs it needs to track it won't know about them.
