- #
- #I saw a question here recently concerning PC-NFS under 386BSD - I'm sorry,
- #but I can't remember who posted it.
- #
- #I have the latest version of PC-NFS running. This is the version supplied
- #in source on the PC-NFS 4.0 floppies. All is well except for a mount point
- #bug. This looks like a problem with mountd and long filenames - has anyone
- #else come across such a thing.
-
- Everything seemed to work under BSDI's BSD/386. I'll try 386BSD
- next week.
-
- #N.B. I think that the PC-NFS source is freely distributable, so it could
- #possibly become a standard part of 386BSD. Dell supply it with their SVR4,
- #for example.

- WHOAH!!! Just a doggone minute..... I assume you're referring to the
- source for the pcnfsd support daemon. I can assure you that the source
- to PC-NFS 4.0 itself is *not* freely redistributable. (Pauses while
- heart palpitations fade away....) I've ported pcnfsd to BSD/386, and
- copies are on the principal PC-NFS support archives (src.doc.ic.ac.uk
- in the UK, bcm.tmc.edu in the US, and ftpserver.massey.ac.nz in the
- Antipodes...) If people want to fold the sources to pcnfsd into
- 386BSD, BSD/386, Linux, whatever, that's just fine with me.
