AS400 & NFS

[George Barrowcliff]

I would like to replace PC Support with NFS on the AS400. How can I tell
if NFS is installed on my local AS400, or how can I search the data base on
the AS400 for NFS related help?

TIA GWB

I doubt if NFS is the way to go. NFS is provided to support UNIX systems.
Furthermore, in order for your PC's to access NFS directories you will need
to install third party support on your workstations. Another issue with NFS
is that you will have to ensure that your AS/400s user profiles have their
UID's and GID's coordinated with all your other NFS servers.

An easier method to replace "PC Support" is Netserver. Netserver provides
SMB support for Windows 98/95/NT clients via TCP/IP. You can find
information on Netserver at:

Hi George,

try with go cmdnfs and you will find all commands that you need.
There is an Redbook about NFS and AS/400. But there are some
problems with. So you have serious problems when you try to mount
QDLS and files from QSYS.LIB....

(I hope you meen NFS and not an Emulation Software also called NFS?)
