    The dual opteron is the nfs server

    The dual athlon is the 2.4 nfs client

    The dual PIII is the 2.6 nfs client

    Certainly;

    http://unthought.net/binary.dmp.bz2

    I got an 'invalid snaplen' with the 90000 you suggested, the above dump
    is done with 9000 - if you need another snaplen please just let me know.

    A little explanation for the IPs you see;
     sparrow/10.0.1.20 - nfs server
     raven/10.0.1.7 - 2.6 nfs client
     osprey/10.0.1.13 - NIS/DNS server

    Thanks,
