I wonder if anyone out there had the same problem
I am running a little net consisting of 1 decstation 5000/200
, 2 sun386i and 1 sun3/150. The problem is on NFS mounts of filesystems.
When the decstation mounts remotely on one of the filesystems of the suns the
systems it works like a charm. When i am trying to mount a SUN subdirectory
to Decstation filesystem then ultrix responds with "RPC failure: Invalid client
credential."
Any insight anyone?
the decstation is running ultrix 4.1
the sun 386is run sunos 4.0.1
the sun 3/150 runs sunos 4.1.1
Attempts that have already failed :
removed the "-i" from "mountd" :Same problem
included all hostnames and internet addresses into yellow pages but did not
delete the server's hosts file.
copied the "rpc" file from the suns to the server and made it public through
yellow pages (NIS)(sic)(SICK!).
rewrote the "exports" file without tabs.
PS. the decstation is the YP server.
Thank you

I received the same error message from the ULTRIX-System. I don't remember exactly what I have done to resolve the problem but the following considerations may help you: -- NFS needs the original hostname of the machine not one of the aliases defined in the /etc/hosts-file -- There may be a problem concerning uppercase-letters in the hostnames. I set the hostname of one DECstation to a name consisting only of uppercase letters (installation procedure). If I remember correctly, after changing the hostname from uppercase to lowercase-form the problem was resolved. If you will resolve the problem please send me a short message with the exact solution to my personal email-address (RA04@DKAUNI2.bitnet) so that I can add a note to my problem-solution-list.
