I have two questions to ask.  First a little system info.  
Machine:  386
OS:  386/ix running NFS over TCP/IP

Questions:

1.  Why do I get an error (mount: access denied for unix1:/) when
trying to mount machine 1's root directory?  Can I do this?

2.  Why can't I access (as root on machine 2) a file that has the following
permissions on machine 1:
drwx------   4 root      sys		100  Nov  8 1989 file


If I can't do both 1 & 2, how can I do a net-wide backup of our network?
Any/all help is appreciated!
