Is there a doc? not sure. I am using backported versions in 2.1.X and 2.2.X . there is a minor differerence between 2.X and 3.X for some additional parameter in I forget which function. In any case the relevant files are /sys/nfs/boot_subr.c, /sys/nfs/krpc* and one minor modification to /sys/netinet/ip_input.c (I think) . MOre details in the CVS tree or my freebsd page http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD.html Cheers Luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________
