Not sure about the "level" reference, but a fairly well-known (if a little "dated" -- April, 1992) NFS reference in the general UNIX commnity is Hal Stern's book _Managing NFS and NIS_ (O'Reilly & Associates -- http://www.ora.com/). "Datedness" in question refers, among other things, to the lack of discussion of NFS V3 (since it didn't exist when the book was written. Also, the book tends to be SunOS 4.x-specific (since Solaris 2.x was either quite new or hadn't reached First Customer Ship yet (sorry; my memory of that time isn't too clear on the issue), and since the author was (is?) a Sun employee, and since the book pre-dated the "ubiquity" of NFS & NIS in the computing world). If a new edition comes out, I plan to buy it.... :-) david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 401-0168 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
