4174.0. "Can you share a NFS mount point ?" by WOTVAX::16.194.208.3::warder.reo.dec.com::sharkeya (Who am I now ?) Tue Feb 25 1997 13:24

Ca anyone confirm (or deny) that using NFS client to connect to a remote 
disk (say on an IBM Unix host), that mount point can be shared out to PW 
users ?

I know it can be done under PW for Unix - I do not know about PW for VMS

Thanks for any info

4174.2Seems to sort of work on unix havent tried VMS KERNEL::BURNSTTue Mar 11 1997 09:4115
    Alan,
    
    Had cust's who have tried this with varying resluts.
    DECUNIX alpha nfs exporting to DECUNIX alpha with PW then sharing out
    this to PC's works ok for read and write.
    
    Same cust tried this from a DG system as the nfs exporter and this
    would allow PC's read but not write access. Unix users had both read &
    write. Solution ended up with PC NFS for this one. 
    Another cust called in to tady and was having probs with exporting a
    MS-Office CD from a SUN system importing into a ULTRIX pw 1.3 server
    and sharing out to wfw clients. Could read but not execute. Solution to
    this one was use a CD on wfw PC for sharing.
    It is a supported File system for pw UNIX.
    Trev.

Sharing NFS mount point doesn't work because most nfs client 
implementations on VMS don't support ACLS and that's how permissions 
get stored and arbitrated.

Also, PW knows quite a bit about XQP internals and there may be 
problems with NFS devices.

4174.5Oh well....WOTVAX::16.194.208.3::warder.reo.dec.com::sharkeyaWho am I now ?Mon Mar 17 1997 14:114
