[comp.unix.xenix.sco] NFS SCO HELP NEEDED !!!

dcs@sixcom.sixcom.it (PC applications group) (02/26/91)

Hi folks,
I would like to use the SCO NFS package on my system which is
an Olivetti XP4 (386 - 25 MHz configured with 8Mbyte of RAM and the 80387)
but I always get this message:

	nfsd: cannot register with CP.

I suppose that CP stands for cpd; is it right ?
On the system is currently installed the SCO ODT package (received as beta
release) and the UB1 update which is the latest update we received from SCO.
When nfs starts these are the messages which appear on the screen:

...
NFS Startup ...
ONC Daemons: portmap
NFS Daemons: mountd nfsd(x4) nfsclnt(x4)nfsd: cannot register with CP.
   biod(x4)
Lock manager: statd lckclnt(x4) lockd
ONC Daemons: rexd
Mountig NFS file systems ...
NFS Startup complete.
...

What does it mean ?

Please reply by e-mail. Thanks in advance.
Richard.

Yes, that's right.  Under stock ODT 1.0, the nfsd included does not
have server capabilities; i.e., you cannot export filesystems on your
system for others to mount.  In order to do this, you must either buy
the Server Upgrade from SCO, which also gives you an unlimited-user
license and the Ingres server stuff and things like that, or get the
SLS that upgrades your nfsd to server capability.  Unfortunately, I
don't believe that this SLS is on sosco anymore, and I don't have the
disk with me now, so I don't know what the number is.  Also, note that
this SLS does bad things to your /etc/perms/bundle/odtps file, which
prevent you from serializing ODT again.  This means that you should
save a copy of /etc/perms/bundle/odtps before you install this SLS,
install this SLS last, and if you ever need to install something that
requires you to re-serialize ODT, you must restore your original odtps
file, serialize the product, and then re-install this SLS (after
saving a copy of odtps, of course).  Annoying?  Yes.  But we're doing
it, because we don't want to spend $1500 for the server upgrade just
to be able to export filesystems.

Note that ODT 1.1 will not have this "feature".
