Installing and Administering the NFS Client |
SAS/C CSL comes
with distribution kits (in UNIX
tar
format) for two login
servers. The first is the standard PCNFSD version 2 server from Sun Microsystems.
The second is the CSL's
sascuidd
server, which is used for
login without a password. If the NFS network is already running a PCNFSD version
1 server, it can be used instead of the PCNFSD version 2 server. The distribution
kits come with "README" and "Makefile" files to guide the process of building
the programs on your login server operating system.
PCNFSD may be hard to port to some systems, particularly
systems that are not UNIX systems. There are a number of alternative approaches
to solve this problem. If there is a secure UNIX system available in the network
that is already running PCNFSD, then that system can be used. If no such system
is available, sites with mainframe security systems can rely exclusively on
sascuidd
(which is much easier to port).
sascuidd
will run on any
POSIX system that also supports RPC. It is also possible to use a stripped
down version of PCNFSD. Only the authorization and null procedures are needed
for CSL NFS. The others (mostly related to printing) are not needed.
