[developers] running LOGON from an NFS partition

[Woodley Packard]

Thanks,

My NFS partition is read-write.  I believe your solution would have  
worked too, but the root of the problem in my case was actually with  
the configuration on the NFS server.  In case anyone else runs into  
this issue, the problem was that rpc.statd was not running on the NFS  
server.

Problem solved :-)
