We at Intellistor are looking for source-code NFS server implementations that would be suitable for porting to a non-UNIX environment. We'd be ecstatic to find a public-domain NFS server implementation, but we're willing to consider licensing arrangements. If you have, or know of, such an NFS implementation, please contact me (bryan@intellistor.com). As always, thanks in advance for any information provided! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John T.

We'd be ecstatic to find a public-domain NFS server >>implementation... Look for the Sun/BSD source code on ftp.uu.net (available via anonymous FTP and usable but with certain restrictions). Also available is SOSS, which is available as source on sun.soe.clarkson.edu. SOSS runs under DOS and is quite portable, but it implements an older version of the NFS protocol. If you're looking for high-performance, you probably will want to go with proprietary rather than public implementations. But then again, the NFS protocol itself is not exactly fast to begin with, particularly on write operations: NFS' biggest advantage is compatibility, not performance. -rich

I assume that you have already read thru the RFC-1094 specs?

It will run on IBM-PC compatibles under Microsoft MS-DOS, using any Ethernet interface supported by Clarkson University's packet drivers. Performance and reliability have been significantly enhanced over the original SOS released in 1989. It can be used in a standalone environment as a file server for DOS or Unix users running client NFS (e.g., Sun PC-NFS), or it can be used within a Novell NetWare environment to provide transparent access to files on Novell servers via NFS. SOSS relies on source code taken from PC/IP, a public-domain TCP/IP package developed at CMU and MIT. It also relies on packet drivers developed at Brigham-Young University and Clarkson University. These drivers allow you to set up a dual-protocol stack, allowing simultaneous access to TCP/IP and NetWare using a single Ethernet interface card. SOSS is free software. You may use it within your organization for any purpose desired. You may redistribute it to other organizations, provided you do not earn a profit when doing so, that you make source code available, and that you abide by the terms of the Gnu General Public License (see the file COPYING). The following systems currently (or will soon) distribute SOSS via anonymous ftp or uucp: System Directory ------------ --------- spdcc.com pub/sos sun.soe.clarkson.edu pub/ka9q iuvax.cs.indiana.edu!sir-alan /u/pubdir/SOS Other distribution sites are now being sought. If you'd like to become a distributor, please send e-mail to rbraun@spdcc.com. SOSS was written by See-Mong Tan, Harvard Holmes, Craig Eades, and Richard Braun.
