URGENT, WIN98 AND UNIX OPEN SERVER 5.x

[Guest_imported]

I NEED HELP URGENTLY, MY PROBLEM IS THIS. I HAVE A WIN 98 MACHINE, THAT NEED TO SEE A DIRECTORY ON THE UNIX BOX, WE HAVE 5 OTHER PC'S WITH 3 HAVING 98 AND 2 HAVING 95, THE CAN ALL SEE THAT DIRECTORY, HOWEVER IT TELLS ME THAT THE DRIVE \\GLOBAL IS NOT ACCSESABLE. IVE LOOK AT THE NETWORK SETTING AND FIND NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE MACHINES AND MINE. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO CONNECT TO THE DIRECTORY, WE HAVE A 20 USER LICENSE, AND THE USER IS SETUP THE SAME RIGHT AS THE OTHER 5 PC'S.

What is making the UNIX directory available to the PC's? Are you running Samba or maybe NFS? (with PS/NFS on each PC) Mike

This sounds like SCO ( 5.x) and therefor should be posted in the SCO forum here. But "5.x" is insufficient info- run "uname -X:" to get the real version. Also see

It also sounds like you are running Visionfs. If so, either the directory is shared for specific users only (and that can be changed by the Visionfs administrator which is probably root) or your Visionfs password database has a different entry for this user. That can be corrected by running /usr/vision/bin/visionfs password --amend username newpassword
