Good Morning Folks

I tried the above suggestions, as far as the mount command syntax, and
it still returns the same error --  here is the session transcript

login as: root
root at 192.168.0.19's password:
Last login: Thu Apr 14 13:53:56 2005 from mod3teacher.mcaschool.net
[root at SRVDB-01 root]# mount /home
mount: srvfs-01:/home failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[root at SRVDB-01 root]#


I hate to admit to confusion, but I am totally lost on this one.
