Our company due to the extremely locked down networks is limited to using public NFS when crossing over from one DMZ to another.
The problem I am seeing is on the client that I use public NFS on to mount a share, it hangs the logins of any user who attempts to login, this is if I put an entry in the /etc/vfstab for the public NFS share. If I use the mount command that excludes writing to the /etc/mnttab, then everything works just fine. The problem is the users of the server do not want it that way because they are not able to see the filesystems mounted when they do a df -h. Is this a limitation that can not be overcome, or is there something that can be done for this issue. This message posted from opensolaris.org
