The original problem was that the rpc.mountd logged out when it
received a mount request form a system which was not authorized for the
particular mount request.
All responders recommended upgrading to 4.1.3 (which was actually
stated as not-an-option in the original posting). However,
len@netsys4.netsys.com (Len Rose) stated:
> This behavior still occurs on 4.1.3 even..
So I archie'd for mountd and found some CERT advisories about
mountd on Sun. I picked up the latest (100296-04) and looked at the
README. It included:
> Bugid: 1047410
> rpc.mountd dies when yp_get_default_domain returns null.
which looked promising. So I installed the relevant rpc.mountd and now
all is well. I now get the message:
Oct 11 10:21:46 uk0x06 mountd[11820]: NIS: no domain
on the console window.
The patch also fixes some security holes with long export lists,
which is an added bonus... It is for 4.1.1 -> 4.1.3 (but looks Ok at
4.1 as well).
