Hello!

This message is rather long, but I wanted to give as much detail as 
possible.  Please read it if you have any experience getting Network
Files Services to work with a mini as server and a PC as client.

I just got Interdrive (NFS) from FTP, Inc.  I've been trying to get it to work
and have gotten stuck.  Maybe someone out there can help me.  The hardware:
I have an IBM RT 6150 that I want to use as the server.  It has TCP/IP and
Network File Systems all loaded and running.  I compiled the PCNFSD you get
with Interdrive on it.  (Note:  In line 433 I had to change SIGCHLD to
SIGCLD, which is the System V equivalent.)  Oh, and I'm running AIX 2.2.1.
And I started the pcnfsd daemon.

I copied the PC files to my c:\nfs.  I did the config as explained in the doc.
I created a file called c:\nfs\nfscnfg and it has the
header line and the line

rtdrive = av2.wharton.upenn.edu /local d: USER root

On the RT side I followed the instructions in the Managing AIX manual, pp.
12-17 to 12-21 for configuring a NFS server.  Now when I reboot the RT I
get the usual initialization messages plus:

starting yp and nfs services: biod nfsd
mount: /u already mounted
mount: /usr already mounted
mount: /tmp already mounted
mount: /vrn already mounted
Invalid number of arguments: 3
Usage: nfsmnthelp B debug
   or: nfsmnthelp M debug host object stub options
   or: nfsmnthelp Q debug host
   or: nfsmnthelp U debug host object vfsno forced
mount: /scratch already mounted

I didn't get all of those "mount:" messages until *after* I did the NFS
config.  (I used to get one, for /vrm.  Anyone know why?)

Now I load the resident PC/TCP/IP module and execute the idrive command,
and everything seems to load okay.  When I issue the idmnt command I get:

C:\NFS>idmnt rtdrive
Mounting ==> rtdrive <== on D:
Password for root: <entered correct password>
ERROR: Mount Access denied
filesystem ==> rtdrive <== has NOT been mounted

What am I doing wrong?  I have all the permissions for that directory set
on.  Am I forgetting anything?  The FTP manual
says that to test if my host is an Interdrive server I can "Use the command
idutil to test for this condition" but when I look at that command I don't
see how.  Help!  Send E-mail and I'll summarize.  Post if you can't reach me.
