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 include README and Makefile files to explain the process of building the programs under your login server operating environment.
PCNFSD may be difficult 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
runs on any POSIX
system that also supports RPC applications. It is also possible to use an
abbreviated version of PCNFSD. Only the authorization and null procedures
are needed for CSL NFS. The other proceedures (mostly related to printing)
are not needed.
