Hello Marcelo,

three weeks ago I started with a test installation of SL-4.0 and
had problems to mount exported NFS directories from RedHat-9.0
RedHat-7.3 and some older HP-UX 10.20 machines.
I solved this by using the version 2.11y of the mount function
- mount -V - from RedHat 9.0 but don't know the real reason.

  Best regards, Olf Epler
