I am sorry for the delay in my summary, put my mail-server was down for
a few days, and then I went down for a few days (nasty flu bug).
Anyway, I was able to fix my showfh RPC timed out " error by installing
the Sun patch 100371-02 on the IPX that is running 4.1.2. Apparently, this
is a know bug on systems running 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, but is fixed in 4.1.3.
the patch can be found via anon ftp at:
sunsite.unc.edu (192.20.239.129) in /pub/sun-info/sun-fixes
(as pointed out by the FAQ).
Thanks to all who responded.
