Hello Calvin! 18 Oct 95 12:21, Calvin Kulhanek wrote to All: CK> Can someone give me the quick and dirty explaination of NFS? NFS = Network File System. With NFS you can share your disk(s) to other Unix or MS DOS machines - in this case, your machine is an NFS server. NFS clients are those MS DOS or Unix based machines which use your disk resources. One can be an NFS server and client in the same time. The largest NFS minus is it's security problems. Hope this helps.

Nada. Not even unsynced garbage. And as you say, the blink is disturbing. My book also makes some mention of the power indicator flashing...consulting the Owner/Operator manual (also for a /400) it says that the power light flashes while the disks spin up. This does not happen with mine. The fact that the diag light flashes three times may be telling, too, like the IBM POST procedure which will "beep" out an error code if it has some hardware error. >Make sure your console terminal is communicating at 9600bps. It is - and I've tried many others, too. >Let me take a look at my 3B2/400 manuals and see if I can >find significance to the diagnostic light indication. You mean you have service manuals(?!). This would be a tremendous find.

Hi All. I've been reading this echo for a while, and contributed my $.02 when it seem appropriate and original. Now I have a ? I'm sure somebody could help with. None of the books in my meager Unix library has much info on this: What is the purpose of the /etc/hosts.equiv file? We have a SQL database application that requires all users' IP address to be in /etc/hosts, with a corresponding entry in /etc/hosts.equiv. The entry in /etc/hosts.equiv apparently consists of the alias in /etc/hosts and something that looks like a hook to an application service, eg: sql, or another simple reference to an application. Since we will eventually have over a hundred users, and its my job to solve network problems, and Unix is new to our organization, I'd like to understand this better. Can anybody shed some light on this subject, or point me to a good reference book on the subject? Is this a security issue or an application requirement? I will try to answer all replies, and thanks in advance for all help. Terry Goodwin Network Technician Denver Public Schools ... Butterflies are not insects.

Calvin Kulhanek said in a message to All: CK> Can someone give me the quick and dirty explaination of NFS? NFS is "Network File System". It's an OS-independent set of protocols designed to make a filesystem or directory tree of one system (the server) available to other systems on the network (the clients) such that the filesystem or directory tree appears to be local to the client(s) machine. lawrence@garvin.hd.co.harris.tx.us --- * Origin: (C)1995 | Lawrence Garvin | Houston, Texas (1:106/6018) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: CEQ00004 Date: 10/19/95 From: LAWRENCE GARVIN Time: 08:46pm \/To: MARTY DUPLISSEY (Read 9 times) Subj: A Debt I owe someone Marty Duplissey said in a message to all: MD> Hello all!
