[comp.os.os2] Lan Manager and TCP/IP

mshiels@tmsoft.uucp (Michael A. Shiels) (07/11/90)

Are the hooks that TCP/IP NFS products use to hook into the file system
documented and freely available for OS/2?

Can a Lan Manager server SHARE a NFSed/PCSAed drive so that other people
can get at it?  Ie NFS mount unix root and then do it's own permission
checking on parts of the root?

No, the spec is available to OEM's only.

I've tried this and it does not work.
However, the Lan Manager people promise that it should
work in the future.
