Actually, as nhfsstone doesn't run on the server itself, you could use
some other box(es) to run it and drive the server on the Apollo. Of
course, if all your systems are Apollos then I guess you'd need it to
run there (pretty obvious huh - why bother mentioning it ;-)

Anyhow, nhfsstone will run on HP-UX (7.0, 8.0, 8.01, 8.05) rather
easily. In fact, I have a run going now while I'm reading notes. There
are a few things to tweak - such as the kernel being called /hp-ux and
not /vmunix, and I think I had to change the name of the nlist
variable for the client stats (but it is too late in the PM to
remember...). Oh, and switch to the ANSI random functions, and you're
off and running. The rest of it seems to be rather portable UN*X
code...you can get source from nhfsstone-request@legato.com.
