forbidden error when accessing file(s) on a unix filesystem
greetings,
i was recently asked to install apache1.3.31 on an aix5.3 server so users could have access to their output files. these two directories are nfs filesystems served by a netapp filer mounted on the aix machine. i've made no changes to the apache config and it's running as it came out of the box. i created two sym links in the DocumentRoot that point to the two nfs directories they need access to. all seems well with a few odd exceptions that are seemingly random. there are files that have no date/time info and the icon that represents them has a question mark rather than lines that represent text. selecting these files yields a forbidden message. this is odd because in other folders that have the same file types they have the 'normal' icon representing them. all of these files share a common 644 permission and they vary in size from a 1mb to 3gb and their parent directories are all 775. anyone out there run into this and have an idea whats going on? please keep in mind i am NOT a web admin.
regards, joe.

umount

UMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 UMOUNT(8)

NAME

     umount -- unmount filesystems

SYNOPSIS

     umount [-fv] special | node
     umount -a | -A [-fv] [-h host] [-t type]

DESCRIPTION

     The umount command calls the unmount(2) system call to remove a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) from the filesystem tree at
     the point node.  If either special or node are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the list of filesystems provided by
     getfsent(3).

     The options are as follows:

     -a      All the filesystems described via getfsent(3) are unmounted.

     -A      All the currently mounted filesystems except the root are unmounted.

     -f      The filesystem is forcibly unmounted.  Active special devices continue to work, but all other files return errors if further accesses
	     are attempted.  The root filesystem cannot be forcibly unmounted.

     -h host
	     Only filesystems mounted from the specified host will be unmounted.  This option implies the -A option and, unless otherwise speci-
	     fied with the -t option, will only unmount NFS filesystems.

     -t type
	     Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on filesystems of the specified type.  More than one type may be specified in a
	     comma separated list.  The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which action
	     should not be taken.  For example, the umount command:

		   umount -a -t nfs,hfs

	     umounts all filesystems of the type NFS and HFS.

     -v      Verbose, additional information is printed out as each filesystem is unmounted.

NOTES

     Due to the complex and interwoven nature of Mac OS X, umount may fail often.  It is recommended that diskutil(1) (as in, ``diskutil unmount
     /mnt'') be used instead.

SEE ALSO

     unmount(2), getfsent(3), mount(8), diskutil(1)

HISTORY

     A umount command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
