When I CD to that directory, I can see all user dirs : underneath it, but if I CD to one of the user directories, I can't see : any files. I KNOW that there are files are there, but they do not show : up with the ls command. : Anybody know what I can do to fix this? Strictly speaking, it isn't broken. You need to use the resvport option when mounting the filesystem, as in: # mount -o resvport sparc:/u1 /u1 You also need to use the resvport option in /etc/fstab if you add the filesystem there: start:/u1 /u1 nfs rw,resvport 0 0 Same rule also applied for automounter maps. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "If you're ever in trouble, go to the CTR.
