Hi, my customer is using NFS software for his PC's. They are using VMS as server. They have the following problems: Configuration: VAX running VMS 6.2 with DIGITAL TCP/IP package installed. This VMS machine is running a NFS server, which is exporting some directories. Windows NT 4.0 (or 3.51) or WIN 95 or WIN3x running Chameleon NFS/X is NFS-client accessing a export of the VMS NFS Server. We can mount successfully, but when files are listed (or should be listed) in Explorer or Filemanager, we get two different scenarios: 1. Files are all listed, but the time is not displayed correctly,what means the time is different fromn the time the files have on the VMS. 2. We do get no files listed, or not all the files listed and the time is not correct too. To find the reason for that, we requested a TCP/IP trace from one of the customers, and we found the following: The VMS NFS server seems to send file informations containing the time in microseconds. this seems to cause the problems our NFS client has. We have been crosschecking with a DEC Alpha running VMS 5.2 and the appropriate NFS server, and here we see, that the time information contains seconds only. Therefore my question is: Is there a chance to turn off the microsecond time format on the NFS server?

Including the microseconds as part of the timestamps is unquestionably
in conformance with the RFC. If Chameleon is really having a problem
with it, it's a Chameleon bug.
You could be getting wrong times as a result of the time zone being
incorrectly configured on either the server, client, or both. However,
if times are off by more than a day, there is something else wrong.
And not getting all the files listed certainly indicates something else
wrong, and probably has nothing to do with microseconds. Your problem
description is not sufficient to allow a guess whether it is a server
or a client problem, especially since you don't even mention what UCX
version is in use.
UCX V4.1 includes a change that might affect the ability of some
clients to read to the end of a directory, so if they are running
anything older than this, it might be helpful to upgrade.
