I could have sworn that the guy who gave the NFS V3 talk at last Summer's Usenix was from Sun and kept referring to figures from the "Solaris 2 implementation" -- whether he meant a sample implementation running on Solaris 2, or a production implementation then being shipped with Solaris 2, I don't know. Does Solaris 2.4 include NFS V3? >It's quite impressive for FreeBSD to beat almost every major OS >vendor! Agreed. Perhaps soon there will be no more OS vendors. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@cloud9.net Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead, calling you an angel.
