Mon, 17 May 2010 13:10:08 +0200 The -i option of portmapper was my first attempt. It failed because nfs on host did'nt work. rpcinfo -p rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused /etc/init.d/nfs-common start Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed! Maybe I should try to fix this somehow.
