Hi Bat,

 Quick question,  If a user exports /usr/spool/mail from a v2.1 system
to a alpha, cd  into the mount point and does a ls they see all the user
names in /usr/spool/mail.  If they do a ls -lag the get usernames file not
found errors.  If they copy a Unclassified file into /usr/spool/mail they
can see it.

 I've tried setting this up locally, which keeps choking w/
Bad MNT RPC: taz: RPC: Timed out
Bad MNT RPC: taz: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Bad file number

 I can ping and telnet both ways.  showmount -e shows the file being 
exported, also rpcinfo -p server looks good.  Can you give a call please.



thanks

Found what I wanted in the release note.

    I spoke to Tammy -- the V3.1A release notes say that ACLs are not
    compatible between V2 and V3.  She convinced them that what they really
    wanted to do was use the Alpha box as the file server, and put mail on
    it and export those directories to the MIPS workstations.  They seem to
    be working now.
