TCP/IP (UCX) and proxies, NFS exports?

The Question is:

 
Hi
 
 
I was wondering about the
particulars of accessing ucx/nfs shares
from a win95 client ie no uid/gid username
password??? what kind of proxying do you need
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  PC-NFS is a more typical approach for PC systems -- PCNFSd assigns the
  necessary UID and GID...
 
  For information on configuring and using NFS and PC-NFS components of
  TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX), please see the documentation.  If
  that proves insufficient, please contact the customer support center.
 
  General steps:
 
  1: Confirm that the OpenVMS disk has the correct protections set.
 
  2: Confirm that the client host is in the local host table:
 
       set host "pc.host"/ADDRESS=128.128.128.128 /ALIAS=PCHOST
 
  2: Add a mapping between the OpenVMS device name and the Unix name:
 
       map "/dka0"  host$dka0:
 
       set configuration map "/dka0" $1$DKA0:
 
     You will also need to edit the file SYS$MANAGER:UCX$NFS_SET_FS.COM
     and add the line $ UCX GENERATE MAP _after_ the line:
 
       $ DEFINE/USER SYS$OUTPUT NLA0:
 
  3: Export the disk or the sub-directory (to all nodes, in this case):
 
       add export "/dka0/directory" /host=*
 
  4: Map the NFS and nobody users, user fred, and map the PC-client user
     to an OpenVMS user vmsuser:
 
       add proxy ucx$nfs /uid=0/gid=1/host=*
       add proxy ucx$nobody /uid=-2/gid=-2/host=*
       add proxy fred /uid=100/gid=15/host=*
       add proxy vmsuser /uid=nnn /gid=nnn /host="pc.name"
