#I saw a question here recently concerning PC-NFS under 386BSD - I'm sorry,
#but I can't remember who posted it.
#
#I have the latest version of PC-NFS running. This is the version supplied
#in source on the PC-NFS 4.0 floppies. All is well except for a mount point
#bug. This looks like a problem with mountd and long filenames - has anyone
#else come across such a thing.
Everything seemed to work under BSDI's BSD/386. I'll try 386BSD
next week.
#N.B. I think that the PC-NFS source is freely distributable, so it could
#possibly become a standard part of 386BSD. Dell supply it with their SVR4,
#for example.
WHOAH!!! Just a doggone minute..... I assume you're referring to the
source for the pcnfsd support daemon. I can assure you that the source
to PC-NFS 4.0 itself is *not* freely redistributable. (Pauses while
heart palpitations fade away....) I've ported pcnfsd to BSD/386, and
copies are on the principal PC-NFS support archives (src.doc.ic.ac.uk
in the UK, bcm.tmc.edu in the US, and ftpserver.massey.ac.nz in the
Antipodes...) If people want to fold the sources to pcnfsd into
386BSD, BSD/386, Linux, whatever, that's just fine with me.
