He was trying it on his Solaris Box I believe. No idea what errors he was
getting though, I gathered it just plain didn't see it.

Since you can now add support for the VMS filesystem to Linux, I was hoping
that it would be able to then share the files via NFS to a VMS machine. Of
course I have no idea how full-featured the VMS support under Linux is. I
know using netatalk, I'm able to use my Linux server as a Appletalk server
(with their resource forks Mac files are touchy).
