NFS & CIFS purpose Its different,

NFS - You mount file System accross the Unix- Platfrom Server as NFS mount point,

CIFS "Used to creat /map share folder from Unix- Windows) Using Samba (example)

>>I do not see NFS configuration nowadays.<<

Its becoz "Now days Orangation" Feels NFS Its not recommended due some Security issues"

Thx,
Johnson

Both NFS (client and server) and CIFS (client and server) are available and supported on every supported version of HP-UX. Both protocols are used extensively by HP-UX installations.

Hi,

well, it depends where you look :-)
In windows environment you will not see NFS mounts. It's UX specific.

V. Nyga - not really - NAS is basically NFS remarketed as something else... just wish I had come up with the remarketing of it, so that I could make Mega-$$$ off of the "already existing" .... :-)

Volkmar - that didn't sound right - "not really" wasn't appropriate. I'd change that to "you're right, but don't forget ..."

I didn't mean to sound corrective about your posting as it is correct, I meant only to expand on the comment a bit.

Please excuse the improperly formed/framed response.

TwoProc - no problem :-)
