We have a DECstation 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.1 and various Sun workstations, some running SunOS 4.0.3 and some running SunOS 4.1. When we try to NFS mount a DECstation partition on the Suns, the mount works fine on the Suns running 4.0.3 and doesn't work on the Suns running 4.1, failing with "Invalid client credential". This partition was previously served by a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 3.1, which worked fine with SunOS 4.1. Due to circumstances beyond my control, the partition had to be moved to the 5000 running Ultrix 4.1, and now it doesn't work (and people are lining up at my door complaining!). Of course, other Ultrix systems (v3.1, v4.x) can mount the partition. I've checked all the obvious things: /etc/exports, /etc/netgroup, /etc/hosts, rebuilt the YP maps, etc. We're running mountd on the DECstation without -i temporarily because of some unrelated (yes, I'm sure) problems. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix available? Thanks, Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine Internet: iglesias@draco.acs.uci.edu BITNET: iglesias@uci uucp: ...!ucbvax!ucivax!iglesias

SOmetimes the /etc/export file must define a "mount point file system" that is no sub-directories (for example if /usr is a file system you cannot define /usr/proj in /etc/exports). Under other implementations that is allowed (although the first case is perfectly compliant with Sun Specs).
