Lines: 29 Message-ID: <329A0EEA.2781E494@dnaent.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: taurus.dnaent.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE i386) I am having a problem with netscape on our FreeBSD machines. Currently, we use Sun Sparcstations running Solaris for our file servers. The us ers are all running FreeBSD and automounting their home directories from the Sun 's. A problem is encountered with Netscape. The users can receive their mail just fi ne. However, when they try send send mail, the get an NFS file locking error. Right now all of the user are popping remote shells from the Sun's and running N etscape. This technique although it works, wastes valuable bandwidth and slows t he overall performance of Netscape. Has anyone seen or resolved this problem? Chuck Chuck Kelly Systems Administrator DNA Enterprises, Inc. ckelly@dnaent.com http://www.dnaent.com
