Hi, We are trying to mount a hard disk on RS6000 on a PC using PC-NFS and are running into some problems. On the RS6000, we run pcnfsd which came as a part of the OS through inetd. On the PC, Sun's PC-NFS is used. However, whenever we try to authenticate the user, we get a message saying "Authentication failure: Abort, Retry, Ignore?" We think that the PC is set up correctly as Telnet/FTP etc using Clarkson package works fine. Moreover, during experimenting with the setup, we were able to mount a SparcStation drive on the PC. Any suggestions regarding what to do next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ravi Sinha | As usual, the opinions here Northwestern University | are mine, and only mine. ravi@earth.ce.nwu.edu | Who'd want to claim these anyway?

Speaking of RISC6000 NFS problems... We are running a lab of 50 PCs using SUN's PC-NFS...All but 3 of them can mount the directories on the RISC server. The error message says that the RISC server's hostname is undefined. I haven't delved into the problem enough to realize exactly where the problem is, but if anyone else has run into this, please post or e-mail. Thanks.
