AT&T has announced "Remote File Sharing", which allows administrators of systems running UNIX System V Release 3 to make directory subtrees available to other systems on a network (advertise) and allows other administrators to mount those resources onto their local file tree. Unlike NFS, the true semantics of the UNIX System filesystem are maintained, including file and record locking. A paper was published Summer 1986 Usenix Conference in Atlanta, GA. It is entitled, "RFS Architectural Overview" by Andrew P. Rifken et al. It is found on page 248 of the proceedings, which are available from USENIX Association, P.O. Box 7, El Cerrito, CA 94530 USA. The cost is $25 (U.S.) plus $25 for overseas mail. At the same conference, AT&T sponsored an "RFS Technical Overview" seminar. Several technical papers and copies of the slides were made available at the seminar. You might be able to get a copy of that material from your AT&T account rep (in Germany, try: AT&T International Justinianstrasse 22 Am Holzhausenpark 6000 Frankfurt an Main 1 Phone: 011-49-69-59-6030 Telex: 414561 ) Good luck. -- Ron Heiby heiby@cuae2.ATT.COM Moderator: mod.newprod & mod.os.unix AT&T-IS, /app/eng, Lisle, IL (312) 810-6109 "Hay una mujer desaparecida...."
