sysmgt.websm.apps

bos.net.ncs

Network Computing System Version 1.5.1

 This fileset contains the Network Computing System Version 1.5.1 programs.
bos.net.nfs.adt

Network File System Application Toolkit

 This fileset contains the Network File System Application Toolkit. It supplies C header files for application development using the Network File System. bos.net.nfs.server

Network File System Server

bos.net.nfs.cachefs

CacheFS File System

 This fileset contains the CacheFS file system, which is a general-purpose file system caching mechanism that improves NFS server performance and scalability by reducing server and network load. Designed as a layered file system, CacheFS provides the ability to cache one file system on another. In an NFS environment, CacheFS increases the client-per-server ratio, reduces server and network loads, and improves performance for clients on slow links, such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). CacheFS is in the bos.net.nfs.cachefs fileset. bos.net.tcp.client

TCP/IP Client Support

bos.net.nfs.client

Network File System Client

bos.net.nfs.client

Network File System Client

 This fileset contains the Network File System client programs, including Automount File System (AutoFS). It supplies support for both NFS server and NFS client. bos.net.tcp.client

TCP/IP Client Support
