I mount two NetWare shares within /etc/fstab at my FreeBSD desktop (using mount_nwfs) and I noticed in the past that linux applications like mulberry, acroread, etc. can not access these volumes. Instead they show an empty directory at the mount point and nothing below. Now I found that linux-mozilla-firebird (which is not my default browser) is also not able to access these shares, but it reports a permission problem: "You don't have the permissions necessary to view this directory" The permissions are set to 755 for all directories and to 644 for all files down the complete hierarchy. Owner and group are my local user:group. These are the lines from my /etc/fstab /SERVER:USER/user /home/sfarren/.NW/user nwfs rw,noauto,\ -A=SERVER 0 0 /SERVER:USER/data /home/sfarren/.NW/data nwfs rw,noauto,\ -A=SERVER 0 0 My colleagues with Linux boxes use ncpmount and do not encounter any problems with the NetWare shares. All application which run FreeBSD native have full access to the mounted NetWare volumes One of my colleagues made the suggestion that there may be a problem with stat() in the linux compatiblity environment which leads to the permission problem? Maybe someone knows how to solve this problem, it would help me to stay with FreeBSD on the Desktop, because the fact that I can not access each directory from some applications is really annoying in the long term run :( Any ideas are welcome :)) Does anyone know, if this issue is solved in rel. 5.x? best wishes and thanks for your help, Stefan
