Thank you for responding to my questions. Here is my question
and the consensus of what I have received so far. I have
to learn to use the proper terminology!
My question:
************
I am trying to mount a drive from a SUN (Solaris 2.5 - everything
properly exported - mounts properly on all unix workstations) onto
a PC running Exceed with Hummingbird's NFS utility.
I did notice that a daemon "pcnfsd" is packaged with the HP and
I am assuming this is the daemon that services mount requests.
No such program seems to come with standard SOLARIS OS.
I downloaded "SAMBA" program suite but I am stalling (obviously -
configuration headaches!). All I want to be able to do is mount the
drive!
After configuring and compiling samba utilities, I find
that the PC servers (which are Novell servers) do not recognize
the SUN host. However, as a Microsoft Lan Server/Client, I am able to
use "NET USE S: \\SUN_SERVER\SHARE_NAME".
R E P L I E S:
**************
1. General Consensus:
Get a copy of pcnfsd from, ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tools/pcnfsd.
I got the copy and compiled it. And was successful
in NFS mounting the drives.
2. Can also use XFS:
Should run pcnfsd on both sides and use XFS.
XFS is a product by a comp sci guy at the
University of Paderborn, Germany. His name is Robert Juhasz and
his email is robertj@lwfws1.uni-paderborn.de, you can download
XFS from his anonymous site at 131.234.218.1 in /local/.xfs32reg
3. However, I will still keep SAMBA program around. Just in case,
a future request to support Microsoft servers comes up!
