RE: Mounting NFS file share

Scott I completely agree with you however, if Netserver is not running,
QNTC is not available.  While there is a client and server side to the
SMB, they both run under the Netserver job.  Here is a good DCR, IBM can
you separate the management and configuration of the two?  Can you
enable us to put the iSeries into multiple domains, base on User?

Subject: RE: Mounting NFS file share 

Just to be clear - NetServer - which uses /QNTC - is not related to 
NFS, except by accident of some similar names.

Just to be clear about being clear :)   NetServer is the program that
lets 
Windows and Samba clients access the IFS on your System i.  NetServer
makes your System i appear in "Network Neighborhood".  In other words,
NetServer is the Windows Networking server for the System i.

/QNTC is not NetServer.  It's "iSeries NetClient" (though they've
probably changed the name to "i5 NetClient" nowadays).

/QNTC is the client-side that lets i5/OS access Windows and Samba
servers. 
NetServer is the server-side that lets Windows and Samba clients access
an i5/OS server.

They are related, but they're opposites.  Just as Firefox is the
opposite of an Apache server.

/QNTC on the iSeries does read and use some of the configuration
settings that are configured in NetServer, and that might create the
illusion that they're the same thing, but they're not :)
