This news group is GREAT !!!!!!!
This morning I posted a problem and it's now solved.
A big THANKS to :
Elliott Dudley and
John Kupec
Both of you were right.
I "thought" I had checked the mount point permissions but evidentally
I did not.
Thanks again
Bob Shaw

Something to check would be the permissions of
what I call the "mount point directory", the one you
can't see any more after the mount. Unmount the
NFS filesystem to look at it.

Check the permission/ownership of the mount point.

================= ORIGINAL QUESTION ==========================
......... NFS question ......
I have an Apollo nfs mounted to our Convex. While on the Convex,
if I cd to the nfs mounted dir and do a pwd I get an error.
(see below). My Apollo is running SR10.3 and has the latest
patches etc. The Convex is running , I think , 8.1 .
A big clue here is ...... I can mount this same apollo on
my Sun and Decs and I DO-NOT have this problem. This doesn't
appear to be a uid problem as we get the same results with
differn't or same uids. ALSO, another big clue, ROOT does NOT
have this problem.
The problem does not show up on the Suns or Decs with a user or
Root.
Truthfully, I'm not convinced if it's an Apollo problem or Convex
problem but it almost looks like it may not be an Apollo problem.
Please see example below
Any comments / suggestions will certainly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
