AIX v3.2 uses nfsv2, if I am not mistaken. a line example for /etc/fstab: remo:/export/aix /mnt/aix/ nfs default,vers=2 0 0 BTW, with version 2 of NFS, both machine mush be able to resolve each other. Also, since nfsv2 doesn't support rsize and wsize other than default, don't change them. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
