I had checked that...

So it seems. Now that I have fired up again this morning I'm going to 
have another look. A thought passed thru my mind that I'd been running 
YAST on 9.0 as well as checking the fstab and exports with a text 
editor, but had restarted the nfs server and client using the yast 
option. Whilst musing in bed this morning before going to change baby's 
nappy I remembered that I'd had a problem in suse 6 summat that 
sometimes yast would overwrite config files with defaults despite not 
having been told to write anything but simply restart services. Perhaps 
something is happening there ... hang on whilst I start the home server 
... back in a while ...
