Quite awhile ago, I was running FreeBSD 1.0 local with a Vax running VMS on the same subnet. I was able to mount a directory from the VAX (astro:/vaxdata1/arthur, to be precise) using the command: mount astro:/vaxdata1/arthur /usr2 However, my FreeBSD box was moved to another network segment. After a few weeks of being here, I tried implementing the mount again, and it failed with an invalid client credential. Also, the VAX has had all kinds of NFS problems with the other systems to boot. Right now, RS6000s running AIX can connect ok (they're on the same segment as the VAX), but my FreeBSD box won't. Is there anything in FreeBSD that limits NFS to the same segments in a network, or should I be looking at the Vax as the cause of my difficulties? Thanks, -Brian
