[comp.unix.sysv386] FTP TCP/IP+NFS - SCO - rmdir problem

rvdp@cs.vu.nl (Ronald van der Pol) (11/17/90)

I have a problem with the PCTCP/IP NFS software from FTP (idrive 1.02)
running on a MSDOS 3.2 machine. When I mount a filesystem from a Compaq 
systempro running SCO Unix 3.2.1 with Lachman TCP/IP NFS I can't remove 
a directory created on a NFS-drive mounted from the systempro on the
MSDOS machine. I have mounted as user nobody and the directory has
permissions set to drwxrwxrwx. I am able to remove ordinary files!
Also 'copy con file' doesn't seem to work on a network drive.

In SCO's NFS Question and Answer sheet that I picked up from SCO last
week at Comdex, it said the SCO UNIX doesn't have the host software
needed to support PC-NFS.  I have a network of DOS-based PC's on which
I would like to NFS mount SCO directories.  

What specific solutions have people found for the SCO UNIX host side?
 ... and what NFS software are you using on the DOS side?

I will summarize if there are enough replies/interest.

 BWNFS from Beame & Whiteside Software Ltd. comes with (when requested)
the source and executable for a Daemon which supports Authentication,
printing, DOS 3.1 Locking and Sharing for SCO Unix. BWNFSD does not support
PC-NFS from Sun, just BWNFS. (Sorry that should read PC-NFS does not support
BWNFSD).
