That's what prompted me to try the other methods in hopes of getting it to work. I did find out what the actual problem was. I didn't RTFM! In the entry, an option was included: -maproot=something -access=something. I guess -access wasn't an option and so mountd considered the whole entry as being invalid without saying so. Removing the -access option did the job. If only the UNIX community was a little more standardized... :) Thanks for the quick response! -- William T.
