Re: (no subject)

["Ozy Ali" <ozzeee@hotmail.com>]

my host.deny file is empty, and i cant locate ipchain file that u talk of.  
the ip that i am attempting to install from is in the host.allow file, as i 
read it should be in a HOWTO on NFS installation.  furthermore, when i 
execute the rpcinfo -p command, it says portmapper is running on both tcp 
and udp protocols.  what am i doing wrong?  by the way...i am a linux 
newbie, so be patient with me :-)
