Greetings, folks. I've written a file server for the PC that conforms to Sun's NFS protocol version two. It currently runs on an IBM PC and serves from an ancient twenty megabyte hard drive with MS-DOS 3.2. It's being tested exhaustively now, and we hope to move the server to a Compaq with an optical disk soon. It runs about nine times slower than the Sun server we have here with a PC client, and about seventy times slower with a Sun client. Of course, we couldn't put any ownership information into the DOS files it was serving from, so all files are tagged owned by the superuser. There are a couple of other limitations, having to do with the file attributes due to DOS constraints. But you can mount file systems from a Sun client or a PC with PC-NFS of course, with "mount" and "net use" respectively. It's nearly nine thousand lines of C-code. If anyone wants it, I'll be glad to sent it to you, or if there's enough demand, I'll post it on the net. Thanks! stan ------------------------------------------ stan@lbl-csam.arpa lbl-csam.arpa!stan ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
