Have you tried it? Seems to work fine on DEC's Ultrix implementation of NFS. The "mount point" must be a directory, but it turns into a "file" when a remote file is mounted on it. I haven't the faintest idea whether it is "supposed" to work or not, I was a bit surprised when I discovered this "feature" by accident. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
