Re: jdbc and nfs

Hi Tom,

I think you were right, there is something in the home directory that
is conflicting!

I don't understand why jdbc would use something in the user's home
directory though...

Anyway the workaround I found was to not map the share directly under
the user's home account and now it works!

Thanks for your help!
