A minute before pulling this in I finally managed to prove that.

OpenVMS 7.2 w/TCPIP 5.0 off the Hobbyist CD's.
I did finally figure out how to export DKA200:[PCTMP]
What I find _VERY_ disturbing is what I did just now to get it to let me
access the one disk!
TCPIP> add proxy /gid=-2 /uid=-2 /host=* system
TCPIP>
As near as I can tell the above command gives _anyone_ accessing the disk
via NFS _SYSTEM_ access. In a work, SCARY!
TCPIP> show proxy
VMS User_name Type User_ID Group_ID Host_name
HEALYZH ONDCD 500 500 sunny, zeus, avanthar,
psycho
SYSTEM OND 0 0 AVANTHAR
SYSTEM OND -2 -2 *
TCPIP>
I think my problem is, that there is something wrong with the above
mapping. Well, that and you seem to need to have root mapped to SYSTEM to
even be able to map it. Obviously the correct answer is I need to RTFM!
I'll have to see about reading it tomorrow when I've some free time.
On a positive note, things seem to be working better with DKA200:[PCTMP]
mapped to "/dka200/pctmp"! So I'm just about there I think.
