My home directory is NFS mounted on our Nexts and Suns.
On a Sun I can create a named pipe in my home directory
and every works.  However, when I try to use the pipe
on the Nexts, both the reader and writer (which are on
the same machine) hang indefinitely.  Moreover, it is
impossible to kill them.  Can anyone explain this?
Is it not possible to use named pipes with NS?  Is this
why NS doesn't support 'mknod -p' or 'mkfifo' like
SunOS does?


Many thanks in advance,
