Hello NFS people! I have a TCP/IP network with NFS on top of it. Some of the nodes run Interactive 386/ix 2.0.1 (I think) who acts rather strangely when I try to set file attributes. If some attributes are unspecified (e.g uid, gid or mode) they get changed anyway to -1. I know this is mentioned in the NFS manual for 386/ix. What I'm asking here is not why this happens, that I understand, but what to do about it. Does someone know how to patch nfsd or nfs.o? Have someone done a new version of the RP (remote procedure) which handles the set file attributes call? Or maybe a RPC filter listening to the original NFS socket, forwarding some calls to a another port, after reconfiguring nfsd to listen this new port, and implementing new versions of other RPs. I'm interested in hints, partial or complete solutions to my problem. Thanks in advance, Niklas -- Niklas Hallqvist Phone: +46-(0)31-19 14 85 Applitron Datasystem Fax: +46-(0)31-19 80 89 N.
