- Anyone using NeXTs as PCNFS servers knows that NeXT's daemon is Version 1. Those
- who have tried to port the Version 2 daemon included with PCNFS 4.0(a) will note
- that it assumes a POSIX compliant environment (which NS 2.1 is NOT). I suggest
- getting a copy of Geoff Arnold's .latest release (pcnfsd.92.08.21.tar.Z). It took
- me about 20 minutes to port to NS 2.1. Here are the steps, once you have a copy.
-
- 1. Change the makefile to indicate you're compiling for SunOS 4.0.3 and not 4.1.1.
- 2. Comment out the "#include <malloc.h>" in pcnfsd_print.c and pcnfsd_test.c.
- 3. Change the two lines containing the function call "strdup" (not my_strdup) in
- pcnfsd_print.c to call my_strdup.
- 4. make
-
- Read your PCNFS 4.0 manual carefully since the V2 daemon expects to be started by
- inetd and now needs a configuration file (/etc/pcnfsd.conf) to function properly.
-
- Testing I've done so far with Windows 3.1 indicates that all of the V2 rpc
- mechanisms seem to work.
-
- As usual, no warrantee and your mileage may vary.
