Date: 31 Aug 94 07:21:25 GMT Organization: Apanix Public Access Unix, +61 8 373 5485 (5 lines) Lines: 35 Message-ID: <miff.778317685@apanix.apana.org.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: seldon.apanix.apana.org.au Summary: I can't make any of them behave 8( Keywords: NFS FreeBSD The subject says it all, really. I've tried building both the "classic" (v1) and newer (v2) PCNFSDs under FreeBSD. Getting both to build & run isn't too difficult. v2 requires you to include <rpc/rpc.h> and work around the absence of getcallername(), but both seem to build & run ok. I hacked v1 to skip the password checking, but the NFS client(s) I was using were refused mount access. I'm fairly confident all that is correct - I've checked the clients with a Sun and all is OK, albeit slow. A fundamental problem with both was that they failed to encrypt passwords to match those returned out of the database. I had more time to play with v1, and the encrypted password it produces looks nothing like the 'real' one. So: assuming I'm running a 'real-des' system : do I have problems with the securedist installation. xdm-des works fine, and I built 1.1.5.1 with no trouble. Is there something screwy in the way PCNFSD works? (I checked that it was un-scrambling the password OK Any ideas?
