This is NFS,-a-NetInfo-Service? in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 01-Nov-1989 22:50:10 From: Unknown Subject: NFS, a NetInfo Service? I now have Ethernet installed, and am happily using telnet, ftp and mail over it. So, my problem now is installing NFS. Unfortunately, the documentation on NeXT still stubbornly claims that NFS is installed via the flat-file-system-approach, whereas /etc/fstab claims it is never consulted. Hmmm... Could someone please give me a hand, then? I have a directory /Users/user_next on my NeXT, and a directory /Users/user_remote on the remote system (incidentally a HP-9000,S5, w/ NFS-capability). All I want to do is cross-mount these, i.e. I would like to see a user_remote tree below user_next/ on my NeXT, and a user_next below my user_remote/ directory on the other machine. This seems like a pretty standard wish to me. Could someone who has done something like this please tell me what I have to do? Help is highly appreciated. /ivo welch ivo@[128.97.74.50] iwelch@agsm.ucla.edu phd_ivo@gsbacd.uchicago.edu >From: eht@f.word.cs.cmu.edu (Eric Thayer)
