Subject: Re: NFS (PCNFS) does no lomger function!

Hello,

thanks to TSC Muenchen. The did findout the problem[s]. There are three
problem:

	1. The hostname and the IP address does not match. NFS use
	   the hostname instead of the IP address to identify itself.
	   In case of this the hostname of the remote system under
	   OpenVMS must be identical with them on the remote system.

	2. Since the Solaris 2.6 release the Sun and Sun PC-NFS
	   (including the successor) tries to mount the disk with
	   a newer NFS version as the UCX. Here is a question, is
	   there (like True64) an automount option to use NFS ver-
	   sion 2 instead of version 3? The most error messages
	   do report the NFS version 3 mount (invalid RPC version).

	3. Also it looks that Sun did change the requestors ID.
	   Under NFS version 3 we see entries with UID = 0 and
	   GID = 0. This did we never see before. After the mount
	   failed Solaris tries to mount with NFS version 2. This
	   function successful with requestors ID: UID = -2 and
	   GID = -2, which I have mapped to an operators account.

Hope this helps other. which me be have same error messages found.
