Dan,

You do realize, don't you, that since both of these hosts are on a switch,
and are using unicast traffic to communicate with each other, that they
cannot be sniffed, don't you?

You might read up on ethernet switching technology a bit before
answering that.

I'm sorry to be the one to make this remark but it's
you who needs to read a bit to learn (a) how to sniff
traffic off most Ethernet switches from D-Link to
Cisco; (b) what other security risks unprotected NFSv3
shares pose.
