Subject:      re: NFS Support For Vines
X-To:         BANYAN-L@VM1.CC.UAKRON.EDU

Here is the readme file that comes with soss version 3.1 It allows a pc to be
a 'dedicated' nfs server. If you use a packet driver and the banyan cabletron
option, the pc can be logged in to vines and all the mounted drives can be
exported. Access is controlled via the user the logged in the server. It might
not be the best way to provide nfs for vines but it works and it's PD. I think
it's even on the csus.edu directory's.

Greetings Hendrik.

====== README ===========================================================
SOSS, a file server for DOS-based systems which supports version 2 of the
NFS protocol, is free software.  You may use it within your organization
for any purpose desired.  You may redistribute it to other organizations,
provided you do not earn a profit when doing so, that you make source
code available, and that you abide by the terms of the Gnu General
Public License (see the file COPYING).

Manifest:
	exe	Contains executables and sample support files
	src	Source code for NFS
	rpc	Source code for RPC
	lib	Microsoft C-built libraries (CMU PC/IP)
	include Include files (CMU PC/IP)
	d2x	Source code and doc for DOS/Unix conversion utilities
	doc	Documentation for SOSS

SOSS is distributed in ZOO format; ZOO is a public-domain archive
utility which is widely available.  ZOO.EXE for DOS should be available
from your SOSS distribution system; you should download the SOSS.ZOO
and ZOO.EXE files in binary mode.  To extract the directories shown
above, type the following commands (where "A:" represents the directory
or device containing SOSS.ZOO):

	mkdir soss
	cd soss
	zoo x// A:soss

Follow the instructions in INSTALL in order to get things up and
running.  The file doc/unixdos.txt is a paper which provides background
on the motivation for creating and enhancing SOSS.

		NOTE

	The PC/IP software will not run unless you specify both
	the IP address and the subnet mask.  Use a value smaller
	than 24 bits for the subnet; for example, selecting
	16 will result in a mask of 255.255.255.0.

A smaller archive containing only the doc, exe, and d2x subdirectories
is also available for those who are not interested in source code.
Microsoft C version 5.1 was used to produce the binaries included here.

If you have questions, bugs, or source code contributions, contact
one of the following people by e-mail:

	rbraun@spdcc.com  (Richard Braun)
	stan@cs.uiuc.edu  (Seemong Tan)

If you would like to be notified of periodic updates, send e-mail to
rbraun@spdcc.com ask to be added to the SOSS distribution list.

SOSS depends on packet drivers distributed by Clarkson University.
Questions regarding these drivers should be directed to:

	nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu (Russ Nelson)

Version 3.1 was developed by Richard Braun while working at Kronos,
Inc.  Kronos does not sell or support this software, nor does it accept
any responsibility for its quality or fitness for any application.
