-
- The PC-NFS product provides its basic file-sharing features
- without requiring specialized server-side software (aside
- from the optional NFS software) or management procedures.
- When PC-NFS software users need only generally accessible
- exported file systems and do not need networked printer
- services, the Irix administrative tasks can be limited to
- issuing network addresses and host names. User
- authentication services and shared network printing support
- require the addition of the PC-NFS Daemon on an Irix server.
-
- The PC-NFS daemon (pcnfsd) program is provided because the
- MS-DOS operating system (on the PC) does not offer the
- diversity of a multiuser Irix environment. While the PC-NFS
- product provides its essential functions without special
- arrangements on the NFS server side, pcnfsd is necessary to
- broaden the range of options available to MS-DOS users.
- Specifically, pcnfsd provides the following services:
-
- 1.1.1 _A_u_t_h_e_n_t_i_c_a_t_i_o_n This is a way for users to identify
- themselves to the Irix Operating System and to be granted
- appropriate privileges for file access and program execution
- on the network.
-
- 1.1.2 _A_c_c_e_s_s__t_o__p_r_i_n_t_e_r__s_p_o_o_l_i_n_g__s_e_r_v_i_c_e_s This enables PC
- users to print on printers attached to servers on the
- network (including printers driven by the Impressario
- software), and to monitor and delete print jobs in network
