Hm. I don't suppose if you type
host 127.0.0.1
host localhost
it fails? I know, long shot. :-) Looks like a dead end.Heh, maybe not...
Quoted 7 lines
I'm assuming you're interested on the server.
host 127.0.0.1 is ok, but...
20740:jordi@natura:~$ host localhost localhost.int.oskuro.net does not exist (Authoritative answer) zsh: exit 69 host localhost
That *is* interesting. It's possible that statd and even portmap will refuse to accept requests from localhost, since your /etc/hosts.deny says "ALL: PARANOID", and your loopback interface fails the paranoia test.
Could you please do what it takes to make "host localhost" and "host 127.0.0.1" work on both client *and* server, and see if your problem goes away? Either that or add "ALL: 127.0.0.1" to /etc/hosts.allow.
Hm. Things could be breaking even sooner than that, depending on whether any of nfs-utils depends on the name "localhost"....
Quoted 5 lines
both boxes have a
127.0.0.1 localhost
line in
/etc/hosts.
Hm again. I wonder if the tcpwrappers paranoia check uses /etc/hosts.
(Sorry for the resend, Jordi.)

Ok. I added "localhost" to my internal network zone file. I thought this was bad, but someone on IRC told me it's ok. They also told me it's really not needed (normal apps should be using nsswitch.conf, but host doesn't).
20801:jordi@natura:~$ host localhost localhost.int.oskuro.net A 127.0.0.1
FWIW, "ALL: 127.0.0.1" didn't help.
Ok. Apparently it doesn't help either... I have restarted the nfs stuff and nothing happens. I'm seeing the exact same messages on the server's logs and this on the client's when I try to use apt-get:
Aug 21 20:49:15 nubol rpc.statd[632]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from nubol for 192.168.1.1
(nubol = client = 192.168.1.3)
Of course, I haven't remounted or anything after doing these changes, because I can't umount the share. Should I reboot the client to see?

No problem, after all the help I'm getting from you guys :)

Well, the message is on the server (right?), so if anything, rebooting the server (or at least stopping and starting nfs-kernel-server and nfs-common) would be called for as a complete test.

Yeah. I did restart those, no luck.
