I'm going to want to do the same thing soon. I am not sure, but I don't think FreeBSD supports NFS 3.0. Solaris 2.5/2.5.1 and possibly 2.4. However, Solaris is supposed to default to the server protocol. ( But, I never believe anything about solaris anymore ).. You can force solaris to use NFS2 . Also, you can force it to use UDP packets instead of TCP. I don't know if FreeBSD NFS TCP works with Solaris's. : Thanks in advance. : -- : Stephen Corbesero Systems Manager and Adjunct Lecturer : 19 Memorial Drive West, EECS Dept.
