Lines: 12 This NFS-vs.-RFS discussion reminds me of a question I wanted to ask: When we upgraded our Gould PowerNode 60x0/90x0 systems to UTX/32 Release 2.0, which incorporated NFS support, I was dismayed to discover that a perfectly ordinary program compiled in the BSD environment had died in the middle of what appears to be a large amount of Yellow-Pages support code dragged in from the C library. This was a total surprise to me, as the UNIX System V emulation that I provide doesn't include any of this stuff, nor will it! My question is, is this yp_* library crap really necessary for NFS? If so, the next question concerns how we go about stamping out NFS.
