[NCSA-discuss] SCO nfs

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

I was asked to look at a SCO (5.0.4) box the other day to 
see if I could put a NAS on it to act as a backup device. I 
couldn't find nfs (man nfs, and man nfsd said "not found") 
and nothing obvious in /sbin or /usr/sbin. The machine is 
stand-alone (not networked) and I didn't think to look to 
see if I could configure an ethernet device, so it's 
possible that none of the networking is installed either.

The machine is in a retailer; it's only purpose is to do
accounts. They're happy with their vt100/curses interface.
Upgrading to a current version of SCO is $15k and they would
rather not do that.

SCO and the one reseller I tried aren't returning phone 
calls, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knows.

o is SCO installed in packages such that it's possible that 
nfs (and networking) aren't installed or weren't purchased? 
Do you buy each bit of SCO separately? Is it possible that 
networking/nfs is on the install CD but hasn't been 
installed?

o from what I've read of SCO back in those days, nfs was v2 
and some/many NASs have trouble with nfs v2.

Thanks Joe
