Where do I find the spec for making requests to rstatd? It doesn't seem to be in the standard Sun documentation set. Thanks, Dale Worley Compass, Inc. worley@compass.com

The RPC Language (RPCL) specification file for rstatd can be found in the file /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x. You can feed this to rpcgen and produce client stubs that interface with the rstatd server. rstat.x, rpcgen, and of course the RPC library can all be found in RPCSRC 4.0, the RPC library source distribution (see message below). Also in that distribution under the rpcsvc directory, you will find a simple rstat client program that functions somewhat like 'rup'. Steve Sun's freely licensed RPC/XDR implementation, RPCSRC 4.0, is now available via anonymous ftp from bcm.tmc.edu and by email from the archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu. If you use the archive server, send mail to archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu with a Subject of "send nfs index" to see all the names of the files. Sending a message with the Subject "help" will return to you more information about the archive server itself. To use anonymous FTP, use the ftp program to connect to bcm.tmc.edu. When prompted for a user name, enter "anonymous". When prompted for a password, enter your user ID (such as "joeuser@sun.com"). Then change directories (cd) to the "nfs" directory, where you will find the RPCSRC files. There are 17 shar files in the main library and 4 shar files for secure rpc. (RPCSRC 4.0 is also available from the sun-spots archive; use titan.rice.edu for FTP and archive-server@rice.edu for email.) Steve Nahm sxn@sun.COM or sun!sxn
