Fileserver support for mac os x has not been tested. In theory, OS X should
be able to use an "inode" fileserver on ufs partitions, but the kernel
module code required to do this has not all been written. a "namei"
fileserver is built and may work, but has not been tested. One stumbling
block here is that you cannot mount a partition as /vicepa, since
autodiskmount will thoughtfully mount it as /Volumes/vicepa, and the finder
will prevent it from being dismounted. You may be able to get partitions
to attach by making a symlink from /Volumes/<something> to /vicep[a-z], and
creating a plain file named /Volumes/<something>/AlwaysAttach
However, this is not the cause of your problem. As others have said, you
did not include the -noauth flag when starting the bosserver on the
machine, as indicated in
