Hi,
   I got my turbo Nextstation about 4 months ago.  The system people here
at work are letting me have a small amount of the our IBM mainframes disk
space.  It is running VMNFS and that seems to be working fine.  The problem
that I am having is that when I issue the following mount:
 
   mount -o ro,soft umslvma.umsl.edu:c1899011.191,ro,password=mypassword
     /u/ben/test
 
It seems that VMNFS needs the password to the account that is holding the
disk space.  The problem is that when users do a 'df' is shows all the
stuff after the word soft.  Does anyone out there know how I can fix this
becuse I can't let people see my password to this account.  Any help
would be great.

Look at the MOUNTPW command in VMNFS. It was created to address this  
situation.
