I've got a product called PC-TCP for an IBM PS/2 Model 50 with an ethernet connection. It works fine using ftp and telnet, and the support is there for NFS. However, when I try to use the 'imount' command to mount another file system, the following happens: The PC side of the connection prompts me for a userid/passwd combo, and then trys to find an "Authentication Server", which is not running on the Apollo. Anyone know what it means by Authentication Server? Is there a daemon I should be running? Is it a standard part of the system release at 9.7? 10.2? Thanks a lot. Scott Ferguson srfergu@erenj.bitnet

You copy this over to the apollos and compile. The problem is that apollo doesn't provide the necessary rcp library to link to with their NFS product.. WHY???? Luckily rpclib is available on various archive sites, in particular uunet. I was able to build it under 10.1.

For this the Unix ID's are used, but since a PC is a rather simple device ;-) it does not have any clues about it. So it has to ask the UniX-box wat to use, hence the login-procedure. The login is serviced by a deamon which comes with the SUN-PCNFS stuff. I don't know weather there are any sources available for this. I do know that once you really want to run this that more things have to be ajusted ( read recompiled ) Before I went on vacation I remember recompiling one of the parts of an PD-availble SUN package which is required for running the whole ordeal. It is not part of any system release, and I don't know if you can get it to run on 9.7. There's been a few articles on this "long" time ago. If you give me time enough I can look them up. (We've got all comp.sys.apollo since march '90) On the other hand are there people who have done this before. Maybe they could come up with a read-do-ready-go paper, which will tell you: What to get and where. How to patch it. And How to install it. Ciao Willem Jan Withagen.

Why the hell should they? They ship a much better RPC with NCS. If you
don't like it you can get the sources for Sun RPC and use that.
If they did ship it you'd be complaining about how it's not the latest
version.kerr@tron.UUCP (Dave Kerr) (12/07/90)

I'd expect the NFS product to include the rpc library, or at least be able to get it thru apollo. I was told that this is not the case. You have to get the code from elsewhere. The rpc library is needed to build the pcnfsd daemon on the apollo. -- Dave Kerr (301) 765-4453 (WIN)765-4453 tron::kerr Internal WEC vax mail kerr@tron.bwi.wec.com from an Internet site ...!uunet!tron!kerr uucp
