    Hello again,   (guess who's back at the smbx
		     again... :)

    I have a symbolics 3650 (Genera 8.1.1) with NFS
    connected via ethernet to my pc, which is running
    Omni-NFS95.  I have no problems accessing the 3650
    from the pc, but I can't get the other way going,
    due to the pc denying access. It seems that putting
    the "System Type" as "UNIX42" makes the symbolics
    want to access the /etc/passwd file on the pc, and
    of course there's no such file (or directory)on the
    pc.  I need some suggestions here, even wild and
    crazy ones.
	 This may involve setting up a tranlation that
    changes the ST:/etc/passwd to C:\etc\passwd and
    maybe I can fake the passwd file (I forget what's
    in one, btw).
	 Or, I seem to recall something about an entry
    on the smbx that addresses "trusted hosts" or
    something like that.
	 Like I say, any suggestions are good ones.

I have a XL1201 connected to a PC at home with both hosts tolking to
each other.  The PC is running Win95 with SuperNFS (I had trouble with
OmniNFS).  The XL thinks the PC is a Win32 host (I created new flavors
of host and pathname to support the long filenames and mixed case on
Win32 (95/NT).  When I get home tonight I'll see what I can do about
collecting some Namespace/patches/etc info for you.
