I rewrote Mark Shand's read-only NFS server so that the 4.3BSD VAX that was acting as our parallel processor host could share files with the workstations. Sure, Rick Sladkey had made a lot of nice additions for Linux since then, but the core code is the same. So, uhmmm, you are saying I could have just gotten the 4.4BSD NFS code back then and saved all the effort? -- Donald Becker becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov USRA-CESDIS, Center of Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences.
