RE: Verifying Existence of a File on a Server

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don, as Charles said, you use the MOUNT CL command to make an 
existing directory point at the remote server. There is all the info 
at infocenter, plus this link to the PDF for NFS on tiSeries:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/books/sc415714.pdf

There's a chapter on security considerations. It appears that user 
names are not used, rather, something called UID (and GID) - which 
are mapped on the NFS server to users on that machine. See the PDF 
for details, and your network person might know more.

As for anonymous access, you can specify this access from only one 
hose, namely, your iSeries. This closes the holes a little. But the 
UID/GID stuff probably tightens it up all the way.

Good luck!
