1- A reboot won't work. This is because the indexed file which contains
the proxies is set to not allow duplicates.


The proxy you are doing is bidirectional.  Consider the case when VMS is
the NFS server.

It needs a one to one relationship bwteen the unix identity and the VMS
identity so that when a Unix user tries to access VMS, VMS knows which
VMS identity to use.

In your case, you are trying to allow one unix identity (206:1032 on
oegaarden) to map to 2 VMS users (CRUISE and DIETERV) and VMS can't
accept this because it wouldn't know whether to use CRUISE or DIETERV if
206:1032 tried to access the VMS system.


If you read the help on ADD/PROXY, you might find some qualifier that
makes your entry unidirectional.
