The NFS shipped with HP-UX is buggy in other ways too. I've posted reports here but haven't gotten a response: c'est la vie. It's quite frustrating to hear that the people at HP are working on wonderful things like shared libraries, while the very basic networking software that they ship doesn't work. My university is buying new equipment all the time. Some voices can be heard saying "Consider HP! Great stuff!" But someone will always add "But what about their networking software?" What can I say? I think I'll save my flame about the C compiler for another day. Scott Seligman seligman@cs.stanford.edu
