Speaking of RISC6000 NFS problems...

We are running a lab of 50 PCs using SUN's PC-NFS...All but 3 of them
can mount the directories on the RISC server.  The error message says
that the RISC server's hostname is undefined.  I haven't delved into
the problem enough to realize exactly where the problem is, but if
anyone else has run into this, please post or e-mail.

Thanks.

Peter
