NAME

vhe_u_mnt − perform Network File System (NFS) mount to remote file system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/vhe/vhe_u_mnt

DESCRIPTION

vhe_u_mnt enables a user to perform a Network File System (NFS) mount to a remote file system.  vhe_u_mnt is executed upon completion of a login using user name mounter.  After logging in as user mounter, vhe_u_mnt asks for the name of the machine to which an NFS mount is to be done.  If that machine name is listed in file /etc/vhe_list, mounts that are valid for that machine are made.  This prevents the command from giving a user the ability to do NFS mounts to arbitrary machines.  File /etc/vhe_list contains a list of hostnames that are part of the VHE group. 

User name mounter must be present in file /etc/passwd file for it to be a valid login name.  A typical entry resembles:

mounter::6:1::/:/usr/etc/vhe/vhe_u_mnt

DIAGNOSTICS

If a machine name is supplied that is not contained in /etc/vhe_list, an error message is produced indicating that the machine is not on the list of machines available for mounting.
