Thanks, that helps.

I'm also having problems compiling some NFS stuff - it compiles and runs
under SunOS (4.x and 5.x), SCO, dynix, and dynix/ptx.

Unfortunately, there seems to be some structures in
/usr/include/nfs/nfs.h which aren't implemented in FreeBSD.  I can't be
more specific right now, as the machine in question has been shut down
for the rest of the morning for emergency A/C repairs in our machine
room.

So I guess I have two more questions:

* Is userland NFS code from SunOS generally workable under BSD?

* If so, are there any references to assist in porting?

I might be able to post some code snippets I need help with, but the
whole thing is under NDA, so I might not.  Unfortunately, I can't get
help from the guys that wrote it, since I'm porting to a platform that
isn't supported by our engineering dep't.

Nevertheless, I'd love to get this working.  This is the first FreeBSD
machine in our company (out of 100+ unix boxes), and I'd like to
demonstrate that it's useful for more than NFS/mail/etc.  Plus, it'd
give the Linux fanatics something to think about... :)
