- }N6. Why can't ULTRIX 4.2 mount NFS filesystems that could be mounted with
- } ULTRIX 4.1?
- }
- }The version of SUN RPC shipped with ULTRIX V4.2 supports up to 32
- }groups per user, whereas previous versions supported 8 groups per
- }user. Users that are members of more than 8 groups cannot NFS mount
- }file systems from NFS servers using the version of SUN RPC that only
- }supports 8 groups.
- }
- }The error message that nfs_mount will give you if you are in too many
- }groups will look like this:
- }
- }nfs_mount: crltrx:/usr/local server not responding: RPC: Authentication error;
- }why = Invalid client credential
- }nfs_mount: access denied for crltrx:/usr/local
- }
- }The workaround is to reduce the number of groups you are a member of
- }to eight or less to make NFS mounts work again. In particular, you should
- }check the number of groups that "root" is in.
-
- Another workaround is if the NFS server machine you are having trouble
- with is an Ultrix system (say, V4.1) you can run the V4.2 mountd on
- that machine.
