[comp.protocols.nfs] nfs feature usage

wingo@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM (Dave Wingo) (08/30/90)

I have a basic request for information concerning user of the nfs product.
Please excuse my ignorance about NFS usage.......

I have a basic understanding that NFS can be divided into various features
	basic functionality- mount/ transparent file access
		with options - lock manager support
			     - yellow pages 
			     - Secure NFS
Question 1 - is this a view common among NFS circles?

Question 2 - to what extent do customers require these features or others if I
             have left some out? Do all customers require all options? Can some
             customers use some options without others?

Your help in answering these questions will be greatly appreciated......
Thanks in advance....
