Hi,

a few days ago, I tried to nfs-mount a directory, which lives on a
Linux box, to a NetBSD/i386 1.2.1 machine. So I became root on the
NetBSD machine, typed "mount linux-machine:/usr/whatever /mnt" and
everything looked fine.

But when I tried to access /mnt, I got permission denied. As root! So
I did an 'ls -l /' and alas, the /mnt directory was gone -- invisible.
I did 'ls -ld /m*' and got a permission denied for '/mnt', but '/mnt2'
showed up as expected.

I tried to unmount the directory again, but without luck. The -f
option finally did it. After the mount was gone, the '/mnt' directory
was there again.

I have successfully nfs-mounted the directory on the Linux box from
four different machines (Linux, FreeBSD, Irix, Windows) -- only the
NetBSD machine simply won't do it.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
