Are the NFS Specifications Available anywhere (on the net or not) I've tried calling Sun, but I keep getting marketing types who want to sell me PC-NFS, not any info on the specs themselves. What gives? :wq -- =============================================================================== Scott A. Sharkey UUCP: osu-cis!bcd-dyn!sas I-LAN, Inc. USPS: 640 Lakeview Plaza Bvld.

You can order them from sun, but it will probably be faster to get them from the net. The RPCSRC 3.9 distribution has 250K bytes worth of docs, including the NFS Spec. It was posted to comp.sources.unix, so you can find RPCSRC 3.9 where ever that group is archived. It also can be retrieved from the sun-spots archive at Rice. Via anonymous FTP, connect to titan.rice.edu and cd to the sun-source directory. You'll find the files rpcsrc.rpc.1 through rpcsrc.rpc.9 (this is all the source code for the RPC library and utilities), rpcsrc.man.10 (manual pages for same), and rpcsrc.doc.11 through rpcsrc.doc.15. The NFS Spec can be found in the last one, rpcsrc.doc.15. Via email, send a message with just "help" in it to the address archive-server@rice.edu. You'll get back directions as to how to request archived files. Steve Nahm sxn@sun.COM or sun!sxn

Hopefully, someone at Sun will post a copy of version _3_ to Sun Spots so we can get it from titan.rice.edu by ftp. PLEASE. Thanks - Mark (davis@cs.unc.edu or decvax!mcnc!davis)

I thought the spec was already available. My apologies folks ! Please don't send requests for the spec to nfs3@sun. I will arrange for the spec to be FTP-able and post notice informing you where and when it is available. "nfs3" is for comments only. Your cooperation is apreciated. Sorry for the mixup... C.
