- I have users using PC-NFS 4.0 and both 2.05 and 2.1 versions of FTP
- Software's PC/TCP with idrive. I have pcnfsd's from PC-NFS 4.0, both
- versions of PC/TCP, and the latest pcnfsd (from Geoff Arnold) off of
- bcm.tmc.edu. I am a little concerned as to which one to use. Is there
- any reason that I should not just use the latest version off of bcm.tmc.edu?
-
- As an aside, I did find a nasty bug in idrive right before 2.1 came out
- (I reported it; I don't know whether it was fixed). If your UNIX passwd file
- entry took the default /bin/sh by leaving the last field blank, idrive wouldn't
- mount your nfs drives for you. It worked fine if you explicitly defined /bin/sh
- (or any other shell); PC-NFS did not have this problem. If I remember right
- this was with the Sun distributed pcnfsd of which the one on bcm.tmc.edu is a
- later version... Anyway I would appreciate all comments, suggestions, etc...
