 When Native File Access for UNIX is installed, the nfsstart entry is added
to AUTOEXEC.NCF, so the services are not automatically available after
installation.
To make Native File Access for UNIX available, run nfsstart after
installation or reboot the server.
ConsoleOne
 If you administer NFS exports of multiple servers and switch between
them, it is possible that the data you view is for the previous server.
Click the corresponding Server object, right-click Exports, and then click
Refresh to display its data.
 When managing the NFS server through ConsoleOne, if you try to export
a volume without logging in to the Novell eDirectory tree, the following
message displays erroneously: Config file is open.
To export a volume, log in to the Novell eDirectory tree.
 When managing NFS Server through ConsoleOne, if a value that is out of
range or invalid is entered in NFS Server > Options > Parameters, a cursor
is placed in the next field and you cannot modify that field.
To modify the field, close the panel and open it again. Enter a valid
number that is in the range in the NFS Server > Options > Parameters
field.
 When managing NIS through ConsoleOne, eDirectory objects of type
ipService and nisObject cannot be created.
 When performing special map migration through ConsoleOne, the
complete path of the file is required (for example,
SYS:ETC\NIS\PHLIST).
 Administering NetWare 5 NFS Services on NetWare 5 from ConsoleOne
on NetWare 6 is not supported.
