Hmm- it was set up like that prior to my arrival- possibly for years- I simply moved files from machine 1 to the NAS and then added symbolic links on both machines to the directories on the NAS.
Not sure if its important, but there are 7 or 8 other machines (Windows, RedHat) on that switch with access to this NAS as well.
I've shut the second machine down for the moment so I can get to the bottom of this.
I read Jim's response again. I have to admit I didn't quite grasp it. He seems to be saying that the first machine has some kind of priority over the files on the NAS and the second machine is lower priority, and that I should mount the NAS to machine two (which I did, but you disagree with).. not sure if I'm getting that right.
We've had a regular weekly ufsdumps of both machines, saved on the NAS weekly for a long time without issue, for what its worth.
Does this change or clarify things any? I guess I'm wondering what is the purpose of a NAS if only one machine can use it.
Thanks for your help!

RLM_IPPOOL_TOOL(8) System Manager's Manual RLM_IPPOOL_TOOL(8)
NAME
rlm_ippool_tool - dump the contents of the FreeRadius ippool database files
SYNOPSIS
If an ipaddress is specified then that address is used to limit the actions or output.
rlm_ippool_tool [-a] [-c] [-o] [-v] session-db index-db [ipaddress]
Mark the entry nasIP/nasPort as having ipaddress
rlm_ippool_tool -n session-db index-db ipaddress nasIP nasPort
Update old format database to new.
rlm_ippool_tool -u session-db new-session-db
DESCRIPTION
rlm_ippool_tool dumps the contents of the FreeRADIUS ippool databases for analyses or for removal of active (stuck?) entries.
Or with the -n argument adds a usage entry to the FreeRADIUS ippool databases.
OPTIONS
-a Print all active entries.
-c Report number of active entries.
-r Remove active entries.
-v Verbose report of all entries.
-o Assume old database format (nas/port pair, not md5 output).
-n Mark the entry nasIP/nasPort as having ipaddress.
-u Update old format database to new.
EXAMPLES
Given the syntax in the FreeRadius radiusd.conf:
ippool myippool {
range-start = 192.0.2.0
range-stop = 192.0.2.255
[...]
session-db = ${raddbdir}/ip-pool.db
ip-index = ${raddbdir}/ip-index.db
}
To see the number of active entries in this pool, use:
$ rlm_ippool_tool -c ip-pool.db ip-index.db
13
To see all active entries in this pool, use:
$ rlm_ippool_tool -a ip-pool.db ip-index.db
192.0.2.5
192.0.2.82
192.0.2.244
192.0.2.57
192.0.2.120
192.0.2.27
[...]
To see all information about the active entries in the use, use:
$ rlm_ippool_tool -av ip-pool.db ip-index.db
NAS:172.16.1.1 port:0x2e8 - ipaddr:192.0.2.5 active:1 cli:0 num:1

NAS:172.16.1.1 port:0x90 - ipaddr:192.0.2.1 active:0 cli:0 num:0
To add an IP address usage entry, use:
$ rlm_ippool_tool -n ip-pool.db ip-index.db 192.0.0.1 172.16.1.1 0x90
