If you read this file as suggested, you find the following: NFS === The user-land 2.2beta40 release: ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/dontuse/nfs-server-2.2beta40 .tar.gz ftp://linux.nrao.edu/mirrors/fb0429.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/do ntuse/nfs-server-2.2beta40.tar.gz The kernel-level 1.4.4 release: ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/knfsd/knfsd-1.4.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc/knfsd-1.4.4.tar.gz I think you want the knfsd stuff. It's still fairly unstable, enough so that I haven't tried it yet. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
