Hello,

I didn't run PCNFS version 5 but used version 4.0a. This shouldn't be too
different. The sources for pcnfsd indeed need to be compiled. I modified the
Makefile to not include YP and one of the sources then complainted about
a unknown constant. (Something to do with Maximum open files).With the
man pages I found the BSD equivalent. Another thing is the malloc routine. This
is not defined in the malloc.h header file, but elsewhere. Do a man malloc to
find that out. Make sure you link the pcnfsd with the -lcrypt option if you
have crypt installed. I run the pcnfsd from the rc.local startup script and
it works good. I run this at home, so I don't have the diff here. If you're
insterested in the pcnfs 4.x solution, mail me. If you need the binary
let me know also. I'm running FreeBSD-current (1.0.10 I think) with shared libs, however the pcnfsd is compiled static.

very best regards,


Walter
