Hi,

I'm looking for people who use their Sun as an diskless XTerminal for
Linux. Currently I'm using the SLXT 0.5c package on a Sparc4 and
Linux 2.2.10.

One problem for which I'd appreciate any hints is, that the nfsd on 
the server constantly complains the following:

Jan  3 16:42:34 romeo nfsd[193]: Unable to setfsuid -2: Invalid argument
Jan  3 16:42:34 romeo nfsd[193]: Unable to setfsgid -2: Invalid argument
Jan  3 16:42:34 romeo nfsd[193]: Unable to setgroups: Invalid argument

The system is running anyway but produces lots of load on the syslogd and
the logfiles tend to grow way too fast...


Florian.

The nfs demon is known to complain about nearly anything and yes this
can slow down connections tremendously.  I would try to configure the
terminal so that the syslog demon isnt started at bootup, or point the
nfsd to put all its error messages into /dev/null.
