you have to create the file /etc/exports on the system which has the file
system you are trying to nfs mount - in your case s1... /etc/exports grants
permission to certains other systems to nfs mount certain fiel systems... there
are a variety of options, etc. that let you control security... the basic
format for what you need is:

in /etc/exports on s1:
/u1 s2

in my ultrix doc, it's all explained in exports(5nfs) and in the system
management volume 3... i don't know where it would be in the real world'd
doc...
