Using the NFS Client

Introduction

In a cross-development environment, the Network File System (NFS) client support provided by the SAS/C Connectivity Support Library enables the SAS/C Debugger to communicate with the host workstation. This appendix provides the basic information that is necessary to use this NFS support. Additional information is contained in Installing and Administering the NFS Client.

The NFS client feature provides flexibility in configuring NFS for each user. The degree of effort that is required to set up your configuration depends on the amount of support that is given by the system administration staff at your site.

For example, minimal user effort is required when the system administrators provide a centralized mount-configuration file and when they set up security-system definitions to enable automatic login. In this situation, users can begin specifying NFS filenames to application programs immediately. On the other hand, some sites may leave mounting files to the individual user. Lack of a Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) compatible security system might require that users issue an NFSLOGIN command at the beginning of each session. Even at sites where a centralized configuration has been set up, individual users with specialized access requirements may still develop their own configurations.
