I am running PCNFSD on the server, which I am told is supposed to provide authentication services for Mac clients. However, my Mac fails to mount the BSDI server because the server cannot authenticate my user log in (although this log-in works fine at the BSDI console). Wollongong suggests I may need a separate piece of authentication software running on the server. They suggest NFSAD. They also recommend file-locking software called LOCKD. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has any experience using any of this software, and who can tell me where to get it. Thank-you.
