Does sysV.4 support long (>14 char) file names and symbolic links?
Does anybody have experience with one of the sysV.4 ports on the
386 using NFS. I am also wondering who is really shipping V.4 and
what each costs. Thanks,

It supports symbolic (slime-bolic) links on all file systems. I have NFS installed, but no local network to try it. I am running UHC's SYSV R4 for X11 developement. Tony. -- tony ,....

Can't you do a "local" mount to try it out? i.e. mount /usr/local /local ... or does NFS require networking to work at all? -- bill@unixland.uucp The Think_Tank BBS & Public Access Unix ...!uunet!think!unixland!bill ..!{uunet,bloom-beacon,esegue}!world!unixland!bill 508-655-3848 (2400) 508-651-8723 (9600-HST) 508-651-8733 (9600-PEP-V32)

You should be able to test it without an actual LAN, however. Try something like 'mount localhost:/usr/local /local' and then use nfsstat to look at how things are running. Anytime you have the internet deamon running, localhost can be used to test things without a true network.
