I other woreds, I have 3 filesystems / , /usr. and /var. I would like then all to appear on the remote machine as /net/mach_name/.... So for instance I could do a cd to /net/machine_name/usr/spool and be in that directory on the FreeBSD machine. Linux dose this by default if you export / you get all the filesystems mounted on it exported as one big filesyste,. I thought that I could do something like this with the -alldirs option in /etc/exports, but it doesn't seem to wokr the way I thought it would. Am I using this incorectly ? If so how can I acheive the desired result ? BTW the remote machine in this case is an HP 9000/735 with HPUX 10.10. Is the problem on the HP end perhaps ? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
