- Dear Friends,
-
- I am having real difficulty with giving access to a variety of users
- segemented into different groups to a number of partitions.
-
- The general outline is:
-
- SUN IPX running NFS/NIS and acting as server for PC/NFS
- Users are having problems regardless of method of access
- (PCNFS, telnet, direct), so PCNFS appears not to be relevant.
-
- Partitioned into several areas for different groups
- Partitions are: / /home /usr /struc /trans etc....
- Some users (groups) need multi-partition access
-
- Adding some users to secondary groups using the groups database works
- Adding others to the groups database doesn't work
- No particular pattern is apparent
- We are getting desparate.
-
- Can you please help out if you have run into this before?
-
- A message from another system administrator follows:
