Note though if you have a locked down hosts.allow, you need a specific entry 
in hosts.allow to say:

	rpc.mountd: 192.168.4.: ALLOW

(replace IP address as appropriate :)

One note about hosts.allow - I'm still amazed at the number of people who use 
hosts.allow *and* hosts.deny. Most distro's these days have got the tcp 
wrappers with hosts_options which allows you to do away with hosts.deny by 
adding a whole host of keywords and enhancements (so you can say ALLOW and 
DENY), add ident lookups, display connection banners, spawn trap doors, 
renice things &c... Managing one hosts access file is a lot easier than 
manging two :) See man page for hosts_options(5) :)
