[comp.sys.amiga] dnet-nfs on Suns...

mjm@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Michael Murphy) (07/28/89)

I've got dnet working completely, nfs and all, on our Gould Powernode 9080
running UTX 32 2.0, but i can't get dnet-nfs to work on our Sun 3/160 with
BSD 4.3.  I've got everything else about dnet running on the Sun, but when
i try to access nf0: dnet just gets hung, and i have to reboot to get rid
of it.  Both versions compiled without bitching, using the bsd makefile.

Has anyone had any experience with this?  Please respond by email, any help
would be greatly appreciated.  I really like dnet and dnet-nfs, and would
like to be able to use it from any machine i log into.

Thanks,

Michael Murphy

	Fine point here:  Matt chose a rather unfortunate name "dnet-nfs"
	in naming his filesystem.  dnet-nfs does not implement the Sun
	NFS (Networked FileSystem) protocol, nor is it compatible with
	Ameristars NFS server or client.  Further, NFS is a Sun trademark, at
	the very least in the context of remote filesystems.  I would ask 
	that Matt change the name of his package to avoid confusing the 
	marketplace about the nature of his programs.
