Hi folks

I have a ds5200 running ultrix 4.1 and a vax running VMS and UCX 1.3, and I
wanted to nfs serve some of the vms files to the ultrix system. I had
anticipated problems with the carriagecontrol in some files, but many unix
utilities plain dont work with the (unix) default directory set to a vms
directory exported by ucx. In particular the User Executive wont let me look at
the files, and crashes with a core dump.

Thee error is something like:
getwd: read error in .. -- can't start new shell

I suppose I have set something up wrong, and need to RTFM. Could someone point
me to the right M, or tell me what I have done wrong (or that I have
unreasonable expectations).
