Okay.

Boy I tried every letter, but l for the password.  Guess l for laptop
makes sense.

I don't see what is causing the problem.  However, I ran the runlevel
editor from control-panel and added an entry to start the nfsfs at
runlevel 3.  This is how it is set up on winfo2.  I don't think that
will solve your problem, but reboot mclap and see what happens.  If
it works, fine.  If not, then:

1) edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

2) At the very end (after the line fi), put in the line to mount the filesystem:

mount /var/data/ldm

(or whatever you were using to mount the partition).

Then see if that works.  This is the script that gets run after all the 
others.

Yea, it works !  editing the etc/rc.d/rc.local that is.  The system level
tool never did work, but this does.

Thanks
