I am having trouble with PCNFSD on a 6386/SX with UNIX System V 3.2.2.  Every
time I try to mount a filesystem from my DOS client to the 386/SX as a user, the
authentication fails and the filesystem is not mounted.  On the 386/SX I am
using the WIN TCP/IP package and the NFS package provided by AT&T.  My DOS
clients are using PC/TCP from FTP Software, Inc.  I can mount a filesystem from
my DOS clients to the 386/SX by by-passing the authentication using the user
name of 'nobody'.  I can also mount a filesystem from my DOS clients to a SUN
server as a user with no problem.  Has anyone been able to mount a filesystem
from a DOS client to a 386/SX running the above as a user?  I think that it 
might be something to do with the password or shadow password file.  Any help 
would be greatly welcomed.  Thanks in advance!
