Hi all, quick question.

I have a situation where machine A uses an NFS mount to access part of
machine B's filesystem. I have shell access to machine B, but not to
machine A. I do, however, have access to an app running on machine
A. The app on machine A wants me to enter in its configuration the
path to the files on machine B - the files do "exist" on machine A,
but only because they are visible via the NFS mount to machine B.

So, my question is, having shell access to machine B, is there any
command I can use to determine what NFS mounts machine A is using on
machine B, and most importantly, what the local path of those mounts
are on machine A, so that I know what path to enter into the app
running on machine A?

The showmount(1M) command may give you the first part, but it won't
give you the second. Be certain to read about the limitations
discussed in the manpage.
