I am having problems NFS mounting Ultrix (3.0 and 4.0) file systems on AIX 
3.1. The following message is produced even when the appropriate 
permissions are granted on exported directories.

# mount rsphy1:/users /mnt
mount: server rsphy1 not responding: RPC: Authentication error; why = 
Invalid client credential
nfsmnthelp: rsphy1: The file access permissions do not allow the specified 
action.
mount: giving up on:
        rsphy1:/users
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

I successfully mount between DECStations running Ultrix 3.0 and 4.0 and 
also between RS6000/320s including jfs and cd-rom file systems.
I can also mount from AIX to Ultrix successfully, and both ways SUNOS-AIX 
and SUNOS-Ultrix. Also Ultrix-Connection 1.3 on VMS will mount on Ultrix 
and AIX.

Has anyone out there successfully mounted Ultrix to AIX - are there any 
patches required/hacks to passwd & group files/whatever?

Local reps from both IBM and DEC have been unable to help so far.

Please post to "david@phys.anu.edu.au" if you can help.
