Since I don't have any religious feelings, you couldn't hurt any of them :) Anyway, as I said I don't know about NFS servers for NT - someone else will need to answer this if you insist on this course - but what I said is that I have experience with having the NT serve files in the usual way (SMB), and then Linux can mount such "shares" (or whatever the NT people call it) - it's actually easier than installing NFS on NT. I don't know if such an SMB solution exists on Solaris, though I'll be very surprised if it doesn't, because Sun also lives in the Real World, and knows that people may want to use windows "shares" advertised by their Windog-using friends. And convincing all of them to install NFS is like, well, convincing your religious friends to serve you shrimp. But again, if someone knows the answer to his *original* question, where to get an NFS server for NT, please step forward now, or forever hold your peace! -- Nadav Har'El| Wednesday, Dec 6 2000, 9 Kislev 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Cat rule #2: Bite the hand that won't http://nadav.harel.org.il |feed you fast enough. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [OFF TOPIC] Re: Request for NT NFS server recommendation.
Guys and Girls! Hi, If you want an NFS server - then go ahead with Hummingbird NFS server for Windows NT: http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/nfs/index.html Also, NetManage was selling an NFS server for NT, but I didn't hear good things about it at all (crashes too much). If I was in your shoes, I would simply use Samba 2.0.7 (or experiment Samba 2.2 which got some really nice features), since Solaris and Linux can access SMB very easily. But - thats ofcourse - your decision. What I need is NFS server for NT since I want NT machine as fileserver for Unix ( Solaris and Linux ). I apologize if religious feeling of members of this list were hurt, yet I'd like to get an answer for my question. -- Hetz Ben Hamo Hardware Research dept.

What I need is NFS server for NT since I want NT machine as fileserver for Unix ( Solaris and Linux ). There is a little *** open source *** DOS/Windows nfs server originally written in 1989 under dos, called soss: http://www.winsite.com/info/pc/winnt/netutil/sossntr4.zip/ It worked well for me.

However, you'll find that we are very liberal and enlightened: we only sprinkle stale penguin pee on people who ask Windows NT related questions. It's more like asking on a Jewish mailing-list "where can I find Glat-Kosher shrimp-lookalike that my gentile friends can serve me?" He's probably looking for NFS for NT because he *does* use Linux (or another Unix), but his NT-using friends [gentiles] that want to serve him files [food] still want to do that in their familiar way [serving shrimp]. You also make up other shrimp analogies for other NT-Unix mixing situations: 1. putting an SMB server on the Unix machine: "where can I find Glat-Kosher shrimp-lookalikes that I can serve to my gentile friends?" 2. putting NFS clients on the NT machines: "my gentile friends are used to shrimp - what doctor do you recommend to install a chicken-digesting module inside them?" ;) 3. putting SMB client on the Unix machine: "Can you recommend a chemical to transform the nasty shrimp my gentile friends serve me into chicken?" And a more serious note - I don't know anything about NFS servers on NT, but instead of putting an NFS server on the NT machine you can also consider putting an SMB client on the Linux machine, to mount "normal" NT-exported filesystems. This is very easy to do in Linux: put in /etc/fstab a like like //server/dir /mnt/dir smbfs uid=nyh,gid=nyh,username=me,password=Pasw0rd 0 0 See man 'man smbmount' for more information. Of course, replacing the directories, username, and other details, with the correct ones. -- Nadav Har'El| Tuesday, Dec 5 2000, 8 Kislev 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Birthdays are good for you - the more http://nadav.harel.org.il |you have the longer you live. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
