Since my DAT drive is on the Linux computer, I need _everything_ available through NFS so I can make tape backups. (Yes, I'm mounting and attempting to read as root). Is there something special I need to do to get this happening? (Other _Linux_ computers mounted via NFS don't have this limitation.) Many thanks for any help.... John Shifflett jshiffle@netcom.com
