Mount is possible if I do a "NET NAME USERNAME *" (where USERNAME is a valid username on the FreeBSD host) and enter the password when prompted. However, if I allow the PC to default to "nobody" the mount fails. I have searched the FAQ, but no mention is made of this particular setup. I've also searched to no avail for the file mentioned in the /etc/sysconfig file: BEGIN QUOTE: # Set to YES if you run PC-NFSD (see /usr/ports/net/pcnfsd) for # sharing filesystems with DOS/Windows PCs. pcnfsd=NO END QUOTE: A search of this web page yielded null results also, but I am no expert on building search strings so I may well have missed the obvious. I would be most grateful if someone would point me to the right document... -- peter defriesse \\ computing facilities management \\ OIT \\ UMass [OIT doesn't opine for me. I return that courtesy..] Sysadmins don't go to hell; we're already doing our time in purgatory.
