The answer is: Make sure the DNS server has a record for the Linux machine.
I didn't. I thought I could play around for awhile before I made that
effort.
I guess not having a DNS record that it could look up caused the DEC
machine to freak. As soon as I made the correct entries, the DEC machine
was happy as a clam to share file systems with the Linux machine.
I have no idea why the SunOS or Solaris machines didn't choke. Probably a
security flaw in Sun's OS's.

ORIGINAL Question:
I have a Linux Red Hat 5.1 machine, and I want to mount a file system
from my DEC UNIX 4.0 machine.
Currently, I have a dozen machines (Solaris, SunOS, Win95, other DEC
UNIX) mounting these filesystems with NO problems. IT ALL WORKS.
BUT... This Linux box will not mount ANY of them from any DEC UNIX box.
The Linux box will mount filesystems from any of the Solaris or SunOS
boxes, but it will not mount any of my DEC UNIX systems.
EG: Solaris (killroy) 2.5.1 machine with /usr/local/network in the
/etc/dfs/dfstab file set for share.
On the Linux machine, I "mount killroy:/usr/local/network /test", and it
is mounted without error. Fully accessable, PERFECT.
DEC UNIX 4.0 (lifeline) with /groups/homes in the exports file. root
access is not set, so all root users have root privileges.
On the Linux machine, I "mount lifeline:/groups/homes /test" and I get:
[root_at_webserv /]# mount lifeline:/groups/homes /test
mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Server rejected credential
[root_at_webserv /]#
Server rejected credential????? What's up with that?
Any suggestions?
Is there something I can look at on the DEC machine to see why it is upset?
