The sources for pcnfsd indeed need to be compiled. : Wow, this is profound :) *smiles* : >I'm running FreeBSD-current (1.0.10 I think) with shared libs, however : >the pcnfsd is compiled static. : Shared libs available for FreeBSD??? *eyes pop* _where_!! I havn't seen : any announcement for it yet, where can this be obtained from??? I use sup to keep up with FreeBSD-current. These can be supped from freebsd.cdrom.com like Netbsd-current can be obtained thru sun-lamp.... I'm running sup here on a sparc-1+ at work to keep up with the changes, and at home I sup the changes to my FreeBSD-box with slip. The shared libs where included slightly after they hit NetBSD. At the moment I run with shared libs and including Xfree-2.0. Now I need something like 50 Mb for full X and all the BSD binaries. I can now keep the full source tree on my first 170 Mb disk Together with the other stuff. I had a hard time upgrading from FreeBSD-1.0.2 to the lastest 1.0.10 release with new systems, but when following the daily changes, did upgrade my homebox almost (?) automaticly. The last kernel I'm running now is as of 24 dec 1993. The shared lib's are almost all up to version 1.0 As with all not so quite tested stuff some instability can result in following the recent changes, however most of the time I found them easy to track down, since I just compare the changes and modify my tree whenever needed. Example, last week sometimes init starts using large amounts of CPU, and needs a kick in the bud (kill -HUP) to cool it down. The folks tracked the problem before I did, 'cause it now works again. If you need tar files of the shared lib version, I'm happy to upload those somewhere, but don't ask me questions about them. Happy computing, Walter
