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? ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda indetech!fiver!palowoda *Home of Fiver BBS* login: bbs Home {sun|daisy}!ys2!fiver!palowoda (415)-623-8809 1200/2400 Work {sun|pyramid|decwrl}!megatest!palowoda (415)-623-8806 2400/9600/19200 TB Voice: (415)-623-7495 palowoda@fiver Public access UNIX XBBS

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.]
