Hello,
I received only a couple of responses. One person hinted the error
was being confused with automounter .ie the /net/systemname prefix.
However, we do not have that turned on. Another person said he checked
his system(s) and had no problem, so it can be done.
As of yet, I have no fix for this and it is low priority for me.
If I come up with a fix, I'll post it.
original question follows.
thanks,
Allan
