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 necessary to use this NFS support. Additional information is contained
in Installing and Administering the NFS Client and SAS Technical Report C-113, SAS/C Connectivity
Support Library, Release 1.00.
The NFS client feature provides flexibility in configuring
NFS for each user. The degree of effort required to set up your configuration
depends on the amount of support 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 set
up security-system definitions to allow 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 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.
If your site management has already developed a configuration
and makes it available to you automatically, perhaps with some instructions
for using NFS at your site, you can bypass this section. Otherwise, you may
need to use some of the commands and facilities described here.
Before using NFS to access remote files, you must understand
two things:
