I have a problem with the PCTCP/IP NFS software from FTP (idrive 1.02) running on a MSDOS 3.2 machine. When I mount a filesystem from a Compaq systempro running SCO Unix 3.2.1 with Lachman TCP/IP NFS I can't remove a directory created on a NFS-drive mounted from the systempro on the MSDOS machine. I have mounted as user nobody and the directory has permissions set to drwxrwxrwx. I am able to remove ordinary files! Also 'copy con file' doesn't seem to work on a network drive. -- Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@cs.vu.nl>

In SCO's NFS Question and Answer sheet that I picked up from SCO last week at Comdex, it said the SCO UNIX doesn't have the host software needed to support PC-NFS. I have a network of DOS-based PC's on which I would like to NFS mount SCO directories. What specific solutions have people found for the SCO UNIX host side? ... and what NFS software are you using on the DOS side? I will summarize if there are enough replies/interest.

Or BSNFS does not support PCNFSD?

And better still, why should we need to? Carl: how about posting the
source and .x files for BWNFSD so that we can think about rationalizing
things? As you may remember, I solicited input for the next rev of
PCNFSD, and convergence would seem to be in everyone's interest...

Yes, don't leave us with lots of different versions of a vital thing like PCNFSD/BWNFSD with lots of hassle to maintain and support.
