Re: Mapping a network file to IFS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick, you need to create file share for the root of the IFS - this is not a 
part of any install - probably a security issue. Or a specific share to the 
arms folder. Either way, the easiest way is with OpsNav - I think I had a 
recent post on doing this - go to the archives, open the May messages, then 
go to the author index and find my name - Vernon Hamberg. If you don't find 
that, NetServer administration is somewhere under File Systems in OpsNav. 
Try the help text, too.

I usually create a share clled root that is mapped to '/' - you could 
create one called arms that is mapped to '/arms'
