Howdy: I'm having a bit of a problem with some directories that I'm mounting vi an entry in the / doamin of the NetInfo hierarchy I want to mount /usr/local on all machines in our network from our server machine. OK, So I put an entry in netinfo that mounts machine:/ExternalDisk/local onto /usr/local, options are hard, bg,rw. Everything works great except on the server machine itself. On the Server, anytime I try to write to /usr/local/bin, for example, the system hangs. Rock solid. Rigid. Saucer mode. You get the idea. I'm sure I'm just missing someting stupid, but I can't seem to get this straight. Is there something wierd about autonfsmount that won't let me mount something from the same machine. Is this some kind of terrible No-No, that I'm unaware of? I realize that I could just mount it as /Net/server/ExternalDisk/local, and set up a symbolic link on all the machines, but then I have to do it on ALL THA MACHINES, and I thought netinfo was supposed to solve problems like that..... Thanks, John
