	G'day again
		Today I noticed that I again couldn't connect to one FC6 box through
NFS. service nfs restart gives:

Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [  OK  ]

Thinking it may be linked to NFS issues a few ago, I did a yum update
nfs* which updated nfs-utils-1.0.10-7.fc6.i386.rpm.  However I still had
the Starting NFS services [FAILED]. /var/log/messages shows:

Apr 26 19:14:06 Ipex mountd[4346]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and
exiting.
Apr 26 19:14:11 Ipex kernel: nfsd: last server has exited
Apr 26 19:14:11 Ipex kernel: nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
Apr 26 19:14:11 Ipex kernel: RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
Apr 26 19:14:12 Ipex exportfs[4529]: /etc/exports:1: syntax error: bad
option list

NFSv4 state recovery directory
Apr 26 19:14:12 Ipex kernel: NFSD: starting 90-second grace period

This syntax has worked up till now:
[root at Ipex ~]# cat /etc/exports
/pub                    Coral(rw, sync) Lockie(rw, sync)
/usr/local/iso/zod      Coral(rw, sync) Lockie(rw, sync)

[root at Ipex ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-1.2868.fc6

Is the problem with portmap or /etc/exports?  Any and all suggestions
appreciated.

Regards
Simon Slater
