FreeBSD is > working according to NFS specs, but Solaris isn't. Count me as one of the ones who do not accept this answer. I realize that the Sun code may very well have bugs in it. I also know that what we have right now "doesn't work" with sun clients. I believe that we have made modifications to our TCP/IP stack code to deal with windows machines who are not to spec, could we not do the same for sun and NFS? Alternately, we have a sun support contract, and if someone could detail to me exactly how they are not compliant I will try to file a bug report. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
