HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |

The Question is:
The situation:
We have three systems running VMS 5.5-2.
We have sucessfully mounted (using multinet nfsmount)
a unix fileserver. The permissions are wide open on the unix side (777)
The permission are also wide open on the VMS side (SOGW = RWED)
From two of the systems there is no problem reading, writing, editing,
deleteing, changing file protection
On the third system, we can read, delete, change file permissions but cannot
write or copy files
to the nfsmounted system.
We are suspecting it is a problem on the misbehaving system (a soon to be
retired mVAXII)
but have not been able to find the parameter to fix it.
(We're trying to copy files, directories and subdirectories to the unix
server)
We've tried reseting permissions, remounting, restarting Multinet, rbooting
the vms system......
Have run out of ideas and would appreciate some more!
Thanks

The Answer is : Please contact the Multinet support folks for assistance with the Multinet NFS server package. OpenVMS security auditing may be able to determine just what is failing, if the access is being blocked by OpenVMS. (Access can also be blocked by the NFS server, as part of the mapping of security models between UNIX and OpenVMS necessarily implemented within the NFS server, or as a result of a bug.) The OpenVMS Wizard would initially assume this could be part of the user proxy mapping or the remote node identification (the name for the UNIX system as accessable from the OpenVMS system) within the Multinet package, but the OpenVMS Wizard is quite unfamiliar with the Multinet product.
