I've written a simple showmount program to become familiar
with RPC/XDR and basic client programs and it works with one weird
exception.  I have one host on my system that produces the "can't
reply to host" syslog message when I direct my RPC mountproc_dump()
call at it using a UDP transport, which results in an RPC timeout
message on my client.  The program, however, works fine over a TCP
transport. How is this so?

						Thanks,
						Scott
