Re: designing a brand new NFS.

[Nitin Kumar Gupta <nitin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Arsalan,

Check this out for the nfs server sources:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/NByName.html
(grep for nfs on that page)

The best way would be to get the sources and modify them to create your
own version of NFS. This software has a lot of security flaws, and if
someone comes out with a more secure software with similar functionality,
it would be really appreciated.

I can help you to a certain extent, though it's been long since I worked
with NFS sources.

Regards
Nitin

PS: What is NCST??
