This generally happens when you try to mount an NFS locker and the nfs
server doesn't think you are who you said you are. What's the name of
your machine (as returned by hostname) and what's the ip address of
your machine (as returned by ifconfig -a)?
Also, what're the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts
The fact that other things on your machine don't get your name
entirely correctly (your message contained the header:
Message-Id: <199508170414.AAA03328@blockquote>
which really should have been
Message-Id: <199508170414.AAA03328@blockquote.w3.org>
). There might not be a good way to solve this other than setting your
hostname to "blockquote.w3.org" instead of "blockquote" (you'd do this
in /etc/myname and /etc/hostname.??0), but changing resolv.conf
might also be sufficient, depending.
