- My home directory is NFS mounted on our Nexts and Suns.
- On a Sun I can create a named pipe in my home directory
- and every works. However, when I try to use the pipe
- on the Nexts, both the reader and writer (which are on
- the same machine) hang indefinitely. Moreover, it is
- impossible to kill them. Can anyone explain this?
- Is it not possible to use named pipes with NS? Is this
- why NS doesn't support 'mknod -p' or 'mkfifo' like
- SunOS does?
