Teamsite is unable to create mount point. Any help or suggestions are welcome.. Has anyone seen this problem before.

please let me know.

thanks a ton in advance

The reason isn't because TeamSite isn't able to create a mount point, it is because it couldn't read a list of users or groups in the hard-coded 60 second limit.

If you're using LDAP or some other semi-flaky authentication technology (especially if its over a network), then you'll see this sometimes. I boosted my waitout to 120 seconds by editing the $IWHOME/private/bin/iwetcboot (line #197 for TS5.5.2 on Solaris 8)

If that doesn't work, then kick it back to 60 seconds and diagnose the source of the problem: TeamSite can't connect to your authentication source to load a list of uids and gids references in your Entity DB files.
