bdf and Enware X-station software

Hi all,
I have a system running HP-
UX 11.0 with "B4474EA B.07.11 ENWARE X Station Software". Whenever somebody connects to the system using X-Terminal and I execute bdf I get some strange added output with bdf like
----------------------------
host1:/hpxtfd 1423 1423 0 100% /tmp_mnt.hpxt/host1/hpxtfd
host2:/hpxtfd 1423 1423 0 100% /tmp_mnt.hpxt/host2/hpxtfd
-----------------------------

If they switch off the X-Term without logging out I get the error message like
----------------------------
"vmunix: NFS fsstat failed for server host1: RPC: Ti
med out"
---------------------------

I disabled the automounter and restarted the system. But still I see the same strange behaviour of bdf and the X-terms are getting mounted on the system. Can somebody help me to close this issue.
TIA.

Re: bdf and Enware X-station software

Well I suspect this is connected to the fact that the xterminal is trying to mount a floppy drive on the xterminal when a user logs into the CDE window manager.

Have a look in /usr/dt/config/Xstartup & Xreset
are there any lines relating to /usr/bin/X11/700X/admin/mountfloppy
or umountfloppy (or /opt/hpxt/enware/lbin/)? might be worth commenting these out and testing the result ?

NB Xstartup / Xreset may also exist in /etc/dt/config/.

yea this is definately the floppy mounting as Alex points out.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for giving the exact solution. The floppy was the culprit who was creating all the problem.
Thanks to all who responded me.
