PCNFS can be installed on Unix to allow the NT machines to access file systems n the Unix machine. A Unix NFS client such as reflections, exceed, etc. will also be needed on the NT machine. This however is only a one way street. If you want the Unix machine to mount NFS drives it will need to use something like Samba (CIFS). You can get Samba from
www.samba.org. If you install this on the Unix machine (server/workstation doesn't matter) you will now have a two way street. CIFS allows Unixto read PC style file systems. This will also make Unix file systems appear in a format PCs can read. Samba has several different levels of security to use. You can have the Unix server authorize access (you will have to keep up with NT accounts on the Unix machine too - not the best idea). You can have a point to point verification (you will need to use a password each time the mount is created - not good for automatic mounts). You can let the NT domain handle the verification (you createan account for the Unix machine in the NT domain and add the Unix machine to the domain - sounds like the best idea for your situation). There are several other ways to do this that aren't as widely used. The samba documents will explain all. Samba was originally created by HP and has become independent. HP still releases a version of CIFS that works with Solaris as well.
