Mounting a SCO NFS share on RHEL4

[Dan Pace Jr.]

Brandon,

It's been a while since I've done this but it does work, either mounting 
Linux from SCO, or as you are doing SCO from Linux.

Even though the message seems to indicate that "old" is down, the 
problem was on actually on the "new" Linux box. Try starting up NFS 
completely on the new Linux box and see if the mount works. Start 
portmap, nfsd, lockd, .... and so forth.

Of course the kernel must support NFS also, or load the modules... and 
there are other ways of course...
