- Looks ok, but I run it as root and say for the secure directory: /CDROM.

- 0) Are you running cdinstmgr ? (I assume that it just does the
- automounting as you describe above - but maybe it does more...)
- 1) Are all the client machines in /etc/hosts.equiv on uranium?
- 2) or is the uranium:~guest/.rhosts file set correctly?
-
- 3) It is my recollection that the remote user of inst under 3.3.X was
- "inst," consequently the .rhosts file had to let "inst" use the login..
- i.e. the <server>:~guest/.rhosts file had:
-
- hostname1 inst
- hostname2 inst
-
- Maybe that's the deal.
-
- Hope this helps.
