Dear Kevin / All
Following are the details of my servers of the requested files / others
On the other hand i have tried to restart the requested service on the
nfs-server (idmapd server) but all in vain and the problem remains let me
tell you that LDAP is not involved in my configuration
yes both the server and client are using EL4 but different machines. any
other info required ??
Thanks in Advance for your interest.
