[comp.unix.i386] SCO and NFS question

palowoda@fiver.UUCP (Bob Palowoda) (03/07/90)

  Hmm, this maybe a rumor so I would like to get this straight. The SCO
Desktop package comes with NFS. The rumor is it is only a client. Is this
true? The reason I have to know is I wrote an application database that
uses a client and "server". As far as I know all other NFS packages for
UNIX come as client and server packages.  Now I know DOS type NFS 
packages come as client only because DOS dosn't have any multi-tasking
to support a server. But I never heard of this with UNIX. Ideas? 
Conformation?

According to DiSCOver (SCO's newsletter), the basic Open Desktop
product will include only an NFS Client.  The "Server Upgrade", in
addition to allowing interactive logins over serial ports (wow!) will
include an NFS server.

Can anyone tell me what method they use to disallow "Multiuser Serial
Terminal Support" but still allow UUCP logins?  Or does the basic Open
Desktop package simply not include UUCP?  [I suppose the intended
market for the Open Desktop without the server upgrade wouldn't have
any use for UUCP, and that it's considered a "server" type of thing.]
