Setting a Value for DTMOUNTPOINT

You must set the DTMOUNTPOINT environment variable if both of the following conditions are true:

• The automounter is used to mount file systems.

• And, remote file systems are mounted at a location other than /net.

  DTMOUNTPOINT must be set for processes, including:

• The user's desktop processes that are automatically started when the user logs in, such as the Workspace Manager (dtwm) and File Manager (dtfile)

• System processes such as rpc.ttdbserver and dtspcd that are started by mechanisms such as inetd

• Applications that are started by the desktop on local or remote systems

• Applications that are started by the user from a shell command line

  To set DTMOUNTPOINT for these processes:

1. Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf:

2. Find the dtspcd entry and add:

   		-mount_point mount_point
   

3. Find the rpc.ttdbserver entry and add:

   		-m mount_point
   

   For example if the automounter is being used with a mount point of /nfs, the entries in /etc/inetd.conf are:

   	dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd \
    	/usr/dt/bin/dtspcd -mount_point /nfs
    	rpc stream tcp wait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver \
    	100083 1 rpc.ttdbserver -m /nfs

4. Perform the procedure on your system that rereads /etc/inetd.conf. For more information, see the inetd(1M) man page.

5. Set DTMOUNTPOINT such that its value is inherited by user logins.

   This can be done by setting the variable in /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d. For more information on setting environment variables, see To Set Environment Variables.
