In developing an NFS client implementation, I discovered a bug in NFS server implementations under Ultrix (Ultrix-32 V3.1 (Rev. 11)). The VAXen servers kept crashing while testing my client, and I wondered why - it seems that any time I refer to a file outside the filesystem I have mounted (either through an unmounted mount point, or by giving absolute path names), the VAX panics and reboots. Although what I was doing was `improper' client behaviour since I was giving pathnames for the server to parse, it still shouldn't crash the server... Anybody come upon this? Is there a proper DEC contact point for sending such bug reports? -Marc -- Marc E. Gauthier megauthier@watcgl.waterloo.edu University of Waterloo 129.97.128.64 885-1211 x3469 or x4548
