could use some troubleshooting tips

[Seth Galitzer]

Nick,

When I use a single IP instead of a netmask, when I restart nfs, I get
an "Invalid argument" error.  Any IP address, local to the machine or
otherwise.

I'm not sure why this machine isn't cooperating, setting up NFS on my
mirror machine went very smoothly.  That machine is running woody and
this one is running sarge.  I don't know what versions of NFS each is
using.

Thanks for all the help.
Seth
