Archive-name: auto/comp.protocols.nfs/Latest-pcnfsd-v2-sources-pushed-to-archive-sites

I have just pushed a new revision of the pcnfsd v2 sources to
the archive sites:

	src.doc.ic.ac.uk
	ftpserver.massey.ac.nz
	bcm.tmc.edu

The new file is pcnfsd.92.08.21.tar.Z.

The main changes from the last rev (dated April 27, 1992) are aimed at
making it much easier to port to different systems with different
printer architectures. Please read the file "common.h" for details,
in conjunction with "pcnfsd_print.c". I have also added support
for SVR4-style password aging. As a side-effect of this, I have
begun to use the "comment" field in the reply to certain RPC's.
I don't know of any client which will make use of this immediately,
but client implementors should begin to think about doing so.
[In essence, if the ".cm" field is non-null and does *not* contain
the string "No comment", you should probably display the text in some
form.] There are other minor fixes throughout.

This version should be regarded as "work in progress" at this stage.
Several vendors are working with interim versions of this source
base in developing ports for popular platforms, and I hope to be able
to post another release sometime between now and InterOp which will
include their modifications. As always, feedback, bugreports (preferably
with fixes!) and enhancements are always welcomed.

PS I will post the sources if absolutely necessary, but I'd prefer
not to chew up bandwidth.
