Remote mounting of file systems

[Don Curtis_1]

I recently upgraded from 10.20 to 11.0. I use an application called InterDrive on a DOS workstation to remotely mount the CDROMs on my 725/100. I have CDROMs listed under "exported file systems" under NFS, read-only and accessable from "all systems".

The user account information appears correct.

I get the message "Authentication server failed to respond" from Interdrive whenever it trys to mount the CDROMs. Nothing has changed on the PC side. Are there any new security or other options in 11.0 not found in 10.20? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Most of the PC Emulators require you to start not only the default NFS processes, but also PCNFS processes. You can edit the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, and change the variable PCNFS_SERVER=0 to PCNFS_SERVER=1.

Then run
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

You may also have to reset clients already connected to NFS server....
