- Wong,
- The NFS client will prompt you for a username and password when PCNFSD
- is running on the NFS server you're trying to mount. This is to add a little
- more security to NFS. If PCNFSD is rnuning on the server, the NFS client
- requires you to enter a username/password combo instead of a UID/GID
- combo. Perhaps you could try disabling PCNFSD on the UNIX box to see
- if it's PCNFSD or the actual mounting process that denies you access.
- If you do this, the OS/2 client will ask you for a UID/GID combo to use.
-
- If you have no luck with this, you can send me your exports file, the
- command line you're using to mount the server, and the output of
- showexp run against the server. I could look at it and try to figure out
- what's wrong (I worked for IBM doing development on the NFS client).
- A brief description of your network would be helpful too.
-
- Good luck...
