Hi,

We are trying to mount a hard disk on RS6000 on a PC using PC-NFS and
are running into some problems.  On the RS6000, we run pcnfsd which
came as a part of the OS through inetd.  On the PC, Sun's PC-NFS is
used.  However, whenever we try to authenticate the user, we get
a message saying "Authentication failure: Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
We think that the PC is set up correctly as Telnet/FTP etc using
Clarkson package works fine.  Moreover, during experimenting with
the setup, we were able to mount a SparcStation drive on the PC.
Any suggestions regarding what to do next would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
