- After posting a message regarding the problems I was facing regarding the use
- of NCSA Telnet I received many replies. This is a summary of those responses.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NCSA Telnet will not allow you to log into a machine placed in host mode using
- the 'telnet' command, only 'ftp' is allowed.
-
- Telnetd, the Waterloo TCP stand-alone Telnet server will allow you to do this
- and is available at sunee.uwaterloo.ca in directory pub/wattcp. Though I have
- downloaded this myself I have not got it working yet.
-
- I have got SOSS working successfully on our network. For those of you un-
- familiar with this package, it is a package which allows you to mount IBM
- PC disks on your unix machine using NFS. It has a few shortcomings,
-
- 1. You must leave the machine in 'NFS server' mode. The program is
- not memory resident, etc. (though this is true for 'ftp'ing into
- a PC running NCSA Telnet also).
-
- 2. You cannot mount a PC disk on another PC using this package though
- I understand using IDRIVE by FTP software or PC-NFS by Sun Micro-
- Systems will allow this.
-
- Current Situation: We have our PCs configured to run either SOSS or NCSA
- Telnet server mode. We can mount or ftp to any of the PCs (or from any of
- the PCs to unix via Telnet/FTP) AND anyone can use the printer via NCSA's
- lpr (included with Telnet).
-
- Aside:
-
- Number 2. above also raises the question. We are running Interactive UNIX
- (now owned by Sun) and there is a 'pcnfs' daemon. Why? Using SOSS we can
- use the normal NFS daemon used by other UNIX systems why can't PC-NFS? --
- Just my $0.02 (prices slightly higher in Canada, please include GST).
