.SH NAME
sharetab \- shared file system table
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fB/etc/dfs/sharetab\fR is a read-only file that has a symbolic link to the \fB/system/dfs/sharetab\fR file. The symbolic link enables users to install and use applications. If the symbolic link is removed, the operating system continues to function but the installed applications will not work. To resolve this problem, the symbolic link should be reestablished. Note that the kernel and any tools that manage the operating system refer directly to the \fB/system/dfs/sharetab\fR file.
