You don't run pcnfsd on the client; pcnfsd has to run on the server side. It's a hack to allow non-Unix systems to authenticate a connection from a non-Unix system and get a valid numeric UID so that NFS security works. You need to get the mountpw command (source is provided by IBM) and run it prior to trying to mount the filesystem on the Linux guest. Mountpw allows you to supply a VM userid and pw to authenticate the client, which will then use the authentication token created by mountpw when the actual mount request comes in. See http://204.146.134.18/NFS/ixsfs32.html for descriptions. If you don't have mountpw, you should be able to get the source from the links on that page and tell it you're an AIX system when you compile it (it may have Linux ifdefs now; didn't a while ago). Be careful and read the restrictions for security if you use CMS NFS. There are some gotchas there that aren't IBM's fault (NFS isn't a very well designed protocol), but could expose more than you want exposed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
