[comp.windows.x] NCD16 X-terminals - NFS

eidem@itk.unit.no (02/24/90)

At our site we have a number of Sun-3 and Sparcstation's running
SunOS 4.0.3 and 17 NCD16 X-terminals running NCD server release 1.6.
We are upgrading to NCD server release 2.1.H these days.

After installation of release 6.2.1.H the NCD16 boots ok using
tftp from /tftpboot on the host.
The terminals are booting/running xdm from different hosts.

We want to load fonts from one common NFS server other than the
boot hosts. That server has exported the file system where the
fonts resists.
The  NFS server is defined in the configuration file for the
NCD16 terminal, but the terminal can't mount the NFS and get the
fonts. Getting the fonts from the boot/xdm hosts using tftp
seems to work.

Any comments/hints are appreciated.
