I am trying to set up our system to execute "share /mnt/amiga" upon booting
up.  I understand that the command should go in /etc/dfs/dfstab but I can't
seem to get the syntax right.  I have tried:

share /mnt/amiga
share -F s5 /mnt/amiga
share -F nfs /mnt/amiga

non of these worked, when I log in as root and type "share" it doesn't list
any directories.  So I have to do it manually, what am I doing wrong?

Also, this /mnt/amiga is a directory that we are using as an AmigaDos
partition for our LAN.  The problem is that the s5 filesystem has a 14 char
limit which is too small for many AmigaDos files.  I have been told that I
could mount a ufs partition and use that, but that there are still some
bugs in it.  Is this true under 1.1?  Do I need to create the partition,
then create a directory and mount the partition to the directory, then use
the directory as by shareable one for TCP/IP?

I noticied that I should even be able to mount an AmigaDos partition to a
directory on Amix, could I use this as our shared partition for TCP/IP with
the AmigaDos machines?  Would this bypass the 14 character limit of the
standard file system?

Thanks,
