Hello all,
I have compiled pcnfsd without major problems. You will need
the RPC - library port by Rick Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com).
It is available as sunrpc-bin-4.0.tar.Z on many linux sites
in the ALPHA/NFS directory. Your kernel must have NFS - support
compiled in. I use the sources from SLS (0.98p5) with all patches
from the package lxpatchs.taz on disk b4 applied.
The changes to pcnfsd.c consist of checking some file and directory
names, supplying a mode in some
mkdir calls, declaring the crypt() function and changing the
type of free_list() to void.
To install pcnfsd on your system add it to your rc.net script
after the other NFS stuff. Remember to add your pc to /etc/exports
so that it is allowed to do mounts.
Since it has only been a short time that I've been using this,
I can't tell how stable it is. I couldn't get printing via NFS
to work yet (the jobs get queued but are truncated to length zero).
I'll post some more on this if there is interest.
Hope this helps,
Martin Braun
