     Apple changed the default port used for NFS on their systems to an
`insecure' port(above 512?) starting with MacOS 10.4.  Before this, they used
a more standard port.  I can't find my notes with the details at the moment,
but I believe you have to force the MacTrash to use a more standard port by
adding a `-P' option to the NFS daemon when it is first started.  Do a google
search to find the details.
     I haven't actually tried the above, because I worked around the problem.
 I had the person ftp the files from the MacTrash to the Linux box when ever
they needed updating.  I didn't find the real solution until much later and by
that time I didn't want to confuse the user, so left things as is.
     Also, in addition to the above, make sure the the
/etc/hosts.allow,hosts.deny files do not prevent NFS mounts.  I had that
problem along the way too.  I hope this helps some.  Good luck.
