SunOs and Solaris NFS mount problem
I'm trying to remount a directory from a SunOs 4.1.3 machine
onto a machine running Solaris 2.5.1
I used to be mounted fine, but since then I'm encountering the following error:
mount xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/publ
nfs mount: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/publ
I've already tried running exportfs -a and ensured that
the client's ip is present in the /etc/exports file
Any help ?

If the automounter is really the problem, the advice to modify a /etc/rc2.d file may still not be the best, just imagine the automounter IS needed...
It is really better to comment out the line
/home auto_home
in /etc/auto_master. Then type "automount" to make it reread the config and then also enter "umount /home"!
That should do the job on the Solaris 2.x system.
However, let's carefully read the question! Chrisvo is trying to mount to /public on the Solaris 2.5.1 system and it should be irrelevant that he has a path /home/public on the SunOS 4.1.3 system.
I would also like to add that the automounter is not much more difficult to configure as the vfstab file and I would rather recommand to use it. However only if a manual mounting has been shown to work.

"...used to be mounted fine, but since then I'm encountering the following ..."
Do you mean you could ever mount it that very way? What is "since then"?
For now I can only advice you to enter "exportfs" (without options) on the SunOS machine and also let me know the output. Also inform me how you presicely tried to do the mounting on the Solaris system.
I notice one difference between your and my approach: I use hostnames instead of IP numbers. It is more comfortable, but I wouldn't think that it is resposible for your prob. until I lokked into it.
