I'm a sun O.S. 4.1.x admin and we just go a box that runs SystemV/386 release 3.2.

I mounted a sun disk on the 386:


#ident  "@(#)fstab.sh   2.3 - 88/05/26"
 
# format: mountdev fs [-[rd]] [fstype]
# This file is used by /etc/mount, /etc/mountall, and /etc/rmountall
 
lightning:/home/utils2/MSshare /usr/share NFS,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,soft


Everything seems to be O.K. except if pwd is anywhere "below" the mount point,
/usr/share in this case, csh hangs unless it's a login shell.

If you type csh, it just hangs forever. If you start an xterm, the xterm comes up but
you don't get a prompt (although it does echo characters). If you type:

xterm -ls

it works fine. Also, users who have home directories "below" the mount point can log in
to a csh shell (but then can't fork anything with csh).

/bin/sh is fine. Cd'ing to or above the  mount point returns everything to normal. 
Users can write below the mount point with no problem.

I checked a similar machine in another dept. and it did the same thing.

Any ideas?

Please reply via email and I will summarize.

Rgds,
Glenn
