   Sid,   
   	When I saw your reply, I thought that was the answer, because machine M   
   already had nfs limited to version 3 as a result of a previous problem   
   to do with uig/gid, whereas machine H didn't have that mod in   
   /etc/sysconfig/nfs-server. That would have explained why M could contact   
   B, but H couldn't. However, limiting both B and H to nfs version 3 and   
   including the fstab mod you suggested has not worked. Too late to think   
   about it now, so that's for tomorrow (after the crosswords).   
   Thanks for your reply,
