A belated thanks to all who replied. We drop kicked the NT server....We
finally convinced the author of this idea that we are developing a Unix
based product and that the introduction of NT into the development cycle
was bazarre. And, shell scripts don't work on NT.

The replies I received were:

Have you considered using NIS for the mounting? Automounter would be able to
handle the job without having to comprimise security. -- Charles Hooks


>From the release notes for v4.0e:
An NFS Version 2 or Version 3 client can mount a maximum of 2048 files or
directories. -- Alan Davis

Hi there.

We have a new Network Storage appliance. Security with regard to access
rights is marginal. What we have been able to determine to this point, is
that we need a separate mount point for each user to maintain separate,
private working spaces.

Does anyone know what the maximum number of nfs mounts are allowed on Tru64
UNIX?

If I have 25 mount points to configure, what number of TCP and UDP server
daemons (0-128 server threads is combined total) do I need to configure?
How many nfsiod daemons (0-20) would be needed to support 25 mount points?

The PC interface to Unix is a painful thing. Any help is appreciated.

UNIX is very user friendly,
it's just very particular about
who it makes friends with.
