[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Differences between SunOS NFS server and BSD 4.3

yozzo@larouch.uucp (Ralph Yozzo) (02/21/90)

I am wondering how BSD 4.3 NFS differs from SunOS Unix
I know that the BSD 4.3 that I am using is using 
Program 100003 version 2  port 2049 protocol udp
(I got this information from a  rcpinfo -p <hostname>)



When I look at the rpcinfo -p <hostname> output
on SunOS Unix it shows the exact same thing.

10003 2 udp 2049 nfs

for program, version, protocol, port, binary


Yet the Sun's can restrict access to mounted file
systems to read only and the BSD NFS cannot.

I was wondering why BSD NFS cannot restrict access to read/only.

Is SunOS and BSD 4.3 really running the same server
and the only thing that is different is that the SunOS client
is smarter?
