Pandora's box has been opened.
I could not find lockit on the Red Hat system or on any of the disks that 
came with it.  I did use a Fireall tool I found in the system menu of 
KDE.  I held my nose, pressed the "DEFAULT" settings button (which seemed 
to reset Input, Out and Froward to Accept) and rebooted.
I got no error messages when mounting, the red hat client sees the server, 
but the server is spitting permission errors by the tons.  I guess this 
marks the beginning of my ipchains education.  I'd really love to set up a 
firewall to share a dial-up connection between my home net.  I really don't 
feel like buying another controller based modem and making my daughter 
logoff so I can check my email    (I LOVE LOW TECH SOLUTIONS).
BTW, There is an iphains book called Building Internet Firewalls by Chapman 
and Zwickie.  I'll try to look at it at a B&N
Alas the weird logon problem still exists.  The root line in the passwd 
file gives root /bin/bash.  There are differences between the logons that 
can access through the console but I haven't found an consistencies . . 
.   Yet.
Breakthroughs make the heat more tolerable.
