The correct data for this machine, either as the FQDN or its 
192.168.xx.xx address, and the path on this machine thats exported, 
as in '/usr/dlds-misc/FC3'

It logs an authenticated connection but doesn't say if successfull or 
not, here is all that shows up in messages:

Jan 21 19:43:09 coyote rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 
shop.coyote.den:786 for /usr/dlds-misc/FC3 (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3)

then silence till the next time I go thru that loop on the target box.
