[comp.unix.ultrix] problem w/ automount and AIX

abstine@sequoia.cad.clarkson.edu (Arthur B Stine) (05/29/91)

I am having a problem using the automount'er under Ultrix 4.0/4.1
to automagically mount NFS directories on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.1.5.

The RS/6000 has, say, a paritition /u exported and i can mount it
via NFS by doing:

mount /u@spiff.erc /mnt

from an Ultrix machine, either V4.0 or 4.1 of Ultrix. No problem...

But... using automount (invoked with 'automount /net -hosts') i
get a '/net/spiff.erc/u: Permission denied' when trying to 
'cd /net/spiff.erc/u'. I've tried this same sequence from a Sun
Sparcstation running SunOS 4.1.1B and it works fine. And I can
mount directories from the Sun box on the Ultrix machines fine too.
What (if anything) I am missing? Is there some known problem
with NFS between an RS/6000's and Ultrix machines?

(oh by the way, when putting the -T option on the automount, i get
the same status from automount, up to the point where it fails:
