Systems: s1 DEC VAX 8600 ULTRIX 3.0
	 s2 GOULD PN9080 UTX/32 2.0u03

Filesystems:
	s1:	/u1 /u2 /u3
	s2: 	/u1 /u2 /u3 /u4 /u5

Wanted:
	s1 filesystems nfs mounted on s2
	s2 filesystems nfs mounted on s1

Why:
	To help with continuity of operations. If s1 goes down and stays down,
users and thier files from s1 are put on s2. If s2 goes down and stays down,
users and thier files from s2 are put on s1.  Normally, this means doing
restores from dump tapes. BUT the dump tape format of s1 and s2 are NOT
compatable (i.e. dump from s1 not usable via restore on s2 and visa-versa).
NFS mounting lets us use s1 dump to dump s2 filesystems, and use s2 dump to
dump s1 filesystems. Thus allowing restores if required.

Problem:
	How do I do the nfs mounting? I have RTM and did what it said (i.e
/etc/mount -t nfs s1:/u1 /s1u1 

but I get permission denied. What am I not doing or doing wrong?
