by I have a local ethernet with one sparcLX running Solaris 2.3 and many
PCs. The people who I am setting this up for want, as one of the function the
sparc, it to do file system serving.
The best idea that I have come up with so far is to just run PCNFS
and let all the PC's mount that partition from the sparc.
#1) Is that a good idea? Are there snags I am totally unaware of?
#2) Should the partition be a ufs partition? Is it possible to make it
a pcfs partition? (I'd rather leave it as ufs and lets PCNFS do
the translating... this will also allow people on the unix site
to beat the 8+3 ms-dos filename consitrction).
