-
- If someone writes pcnfsd ;-)
-
- : I'll assume PCNFS is some sort of MS-DOS version of NFS...
-
- Yes and more .. pcnfsd handles also printing (aaargh).
-
- : correctly, you need to be able to use a Linux box as a NFS file server?
- : Well there is a ALPHA-BETA nfsd for linux... It seems to be pretty stable
- : and support for it is included in the SLS distribution.
-
- No .. I'm not sure if it will work with pcnfs, I doubt.
- Even though I have pcnfs kit (something old 2.x), I haven't
- checked does it have source code also - they say it has
- sources for pcnfsd. Then it would be only porting job,
- I'm not sure if one is allowed to distribute the code ...
- but if someone ports it to Linux, then patches could
- be distributed.
