10.3.1. Server-side PC/NFS configuration

There should not be any additional configuration for a PC/NFS client other than that needed for a Unix-based NFS client, unless the client requires the use of the PCNFSD protocol (either because you do not run NIS, or because you want to give your PCs access to Unix-connected printers). You may find that the PC/NFS client does not use reserved source ports (IP address port values less than 1024), and if so, you may have to disable "port monitoring" on the server as we'll discuss in Section 12.4.6, "Port monitoring".

If you need to run a PCNFSD daemon on the server, you will want to add it to the rc scripts that get started when the Unix server boots up. For Solaris, you would add a script to /etc/init.d:

#!/bin/sh
PCNFSD_NAME=hclnfsd # in /opt/pcnfs/bin
PATH=/opt/pcnfsd/bin:$PATH
export PATH

case "$1" in
start )

  # The named directory is used as a temporary area for print spool files.

	  $PCNFSD -A /var/run 
  ;;
stop )
  pkill $PCNFSD
  ;;
esac
exit 0

and then link this script to a hard or soft link in /etc/rc3.d to start it before the NFS server.
