- pcnfsd is a daemon running on an NFS Server to implement:
-
- - user authentification
- - print spooling
-
- for PC-NFS (or equivalent products, e.g. FTP's INTERDRIVE). The source code for
- pcnfsd is normally distributed via the PC-product or can be FTP'ed over the net.
- If you have a BSD-like network interface, porting should be trivial.

-
- As there are some version of the PCNFSD code on the net (look for Version 2) which
- have been posted by SUN Microsystems, I guess that the code is freely distributable.
