I was able to see the MASSCOMP NFS implementation being shipped with
their Real-Time UNIX release 4.0 (which is currently shipping to
supported MASSCOMP customers).

It does seem to do all the right things (for the most part). It will
work with PC-NFS for file sharing. It does not support the pcnfsd
authentication server. It does not support remote line printing.

It does support 4.2 style long-file-names when it mounts a 4.2-type
file system from a server (MASSCOMP uses the SYSTEM V file system
conventions natively). They have even modified all the relevant
system utilities (like ls, mv, cp and the like) to handle these
long filenames and directory paths.

All the familiar utilities and permission files are there. Most of
the /usr/etc utilities in the SUN-OS are found in /etc/net on the
MASSCOMP.

Yellow Pages is implemented and integrated as well. [The exception
to this is the lack of mail.aliases and ethers. MASSCOMP does not support
sendmail or rarp.]
