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
