We've just set up to use NFS on our main system, and connect all our PC's to
it using PC-NFS. We seem to be having a slight problem with it. It will not
mount a drive to the server.

Currently, we are using PC-NFS 3.0 on a single PC for testing. It has a
3C503 Etherlink board. Our server system is an Encore Multimax 320, running
UMAX (BSD) 4.2, and a server-only NFS. nfsd and portmap run fine, and the PC
can communicate properly over the Ethernet using ftp and telnet, but the
problem comes when we try to mount a drive to a path on the server. I
compiled rpc.pcnfsd, commenting out the includes for sys/tty.h and
sys/stream.h, as they do not exist on the Encore, and did not produce a
compiler error.

rpc.pcnfsd runs fine, and both systems recognize it using 
'rpcinfo -u bu-tyng 150001 1', responding with 'ready and waiting'. When I
run nfsconf or net use, and attempt to mount a drive, it comes back with:

NFS038F: Access to file system denied by server.

as if the path was not in the /etc/exports file, which it is. Here is a
closer look:

/etc/exports

# This file lists directories exported by NFS
/usr1/nfs/common

C\> net use d: \\bu-tyng\usr1\nfs\common
NFS038F: Access to file system denied by server.
NFS008F: Drive d: has not been mounted.

And I get the same error using nfsconf.

Any help would be appreciated, hopefully both sides (Sun and Encore) are
listening...
