I run OnNet on the majority of my PC's. It's by far more flexible. The only oddity was that I could not get the [normal] pcnfsd located in the Sun server to authenticate those machines when attempting to mount drives on the SGI. I have never used the SGI as a server. I have two central servers and that's where everybody points to (including the Indigo2). When I installed 3D Studio and had my ~/3ds4 exported, the machines running PCNFS had no problem mounting it. The machines running OnNet, however, complained they could not get authenticated. I then installed pcnfsd on the SGI and everything went smoothly. No, I did not see any locking problems. At least no one complained about. All renderings went fine and worked as described. I'm just waiting for the Video Post rendering to work as that's all I do. Note that I'm not an "animator" per se. I run the most convoluted and diverse network possible. There are at least 9 different platforms running different OS'es all connected to this rat's nest I call network. It's actually pretty amazing everything works at all.
