NFS mount on a different subnet machine.

hi there,

        I ma trying to use mount on a dunix 3.2c machine which is on a
different subnet from the server machine (also dunix 3.2c) and get an error
to the effect "RPC authentication failure why becasue client cridentials
are weak". Here is the export file entry on the server.

/axpcleo -root=0, access=hep:machinea
/axpccon -r=0 -access=hep:machinea

here hep is the nis group and machinea is the client machine. (I have used
the fully qualified domain name also here). here 2 files have different
options and still it does not work.

The mountd running on server is "mount -i -d -s". When I run mountd as
mountd -i everything works ok. But that allows client to mount all the file
system exported from the server without checking for the access flag.
Is there a way to fix this security problem. (how can I limit the client
to only one dir)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rakesh

PS: can someone send me the correct options for export file. Which actually
restrict the files mounted from server to the access list..
