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.
