- Thanks to everyone for their responses! Ironically, the day after I
- submitted the posting, I received the most recent issue of SunExpert,
- which said the same thing everyone else mentioned: be sure to mount
- /var/spool/pcnfs (or /var/spool) via /etc/exports. I did that, but it
- still didn't work.
-
- I puzzled over this for awhile, and then from out of the blue I came
- up with an idea to check my /etc/netgroups file. I added the DOS
- machine's name to the machine list, and everything went hunky-dory
- after that. Don't even ask me why I thought of /etc/netgroups, even I
- don't know how I arrived at that. The manual does not mention this,
- too. I am sort of puzzled why the authentication for file services
- still let me pass through, even though the DOS box's IP name was not
- on the validation list.
-
- Oh, and to the PC-NFS team: what a SLICK piece of work, it's great!
-
- Thanks again!
