Once again, thank you for the prompt support.
Chalk this one up to RTFM ( if I could find them, someone absconded them )
anyway - the problem:
>>
>> Here a new question for y'all ....
>>
>>
>> We have moved our NIS mounting schmemes to produce the /home/user scenario
>> in an effort to better administrate users' home directories. A typical map
>> entry from auto.home would look like:
>>
>> userjoe server1:/export/home3/userjoe
>>
>>
>> We all know the benefits of this arrangement. However now I run into trouble
>> with PC-NFS administration. How does one properly adminstrate the mounting
>> of directories on the PC now that the PC no longer knows which server the
>> directory might be on?
>>
>> NET USE G: /HOME/USERJOE does not work. PC-NFS insists on a server name.
>> The same server name that we just removed from the environment, for according
>> to people from Sun, the user doesn't need to know where his/her home directory
>> really is, just that they should have access to it. i.e., /home/user, nomadic
>> devices ....
>>
>> Any suggestions?
>>
>>
>> PC-NFS V 4.0 / DOS 5.0 / SunOS 4.1.1b / automounter (Sun's, not amd)
>>
>>
>> TIA,

The solution: (provided by kjv@tampella.fi)
> NET USE G: $HOME
>Doesn't work right? I can't test it as we are not using automounter. PC-NFS
>4.0 manuals may be handy...
>
>You ought to have the pcnfsd v2 running with USE_YP enabled.
