Summary: No, NFS does not work

We, too, are having lots of trouble with NFS.  We have two Iris 3020's
which are set up as clients with a Vaxstation II/GPX running Ultrix
2.0 as the server.  We have the following trouble:

1. "pwd" does not work in most (but not all) NFS directories.  It gives
   "read error in .."

2. C-shell scripts do not work in the same directories.  The error here is
"file not found".  Bourne shell scripts run fine.

3. Occasionally, if there are 2 or more users running ld, the server
or one of the clients will crash.

Any and all suggestions for fixes would be greatly appreciated.  Students
have managed to cope ok, but our developers now refuse to work in NFS
directories.
