Hi,

I've got a weird problem here.  I have a Linux host running
Debian unstable which acts as a NFS server.  Currently, we have
other Debian and FreeBSD machines on the same network which mount
NFS from this server.  No problems with any of them regarding
NFS.  So one day I decided to install NetBSD 1.5 on one of our
machines and have done my best to set it up properly.  It also
has two NICs and acts as a NAT router with IPF/IPNat for a
cluster we have.  All of that works great.  :)

But we are unable to get the NFS mount from the NFS server to
play nice on the NetBSD host.  What happens is that the mount
works OK (regardless of options: -3 -i -s -P, etc.).  Root can
read, look at, etc. files.  Lockd, statd, rpcbind, etc. are
running.  But when a user logs in, something happens and before
they get a prompt, the NFS mount goes haywire.  Some inspection
and I notice that the particular problem for me are my HISTORY
options for Zsh 4.0.4.  Can't df, can't read files, etc. in the
home dir.  The same problem occurred with OpenBSD 3.0.  :-(
This machine used to run FreeBSD 4.5, which worked fine w/ NFS.

Ideas?  Suggestions?  Ridiculing?  :)

Thanks in advance,
