nfsd and portmap

nfsd and portmap were not in the 6.2NC release, even though they had been in
previous non-commerical releases and are in the documentation. I assumed
this was an oversight, though I dont think anyone from QSSL has ever commented
on this.

Are they in patchA-nc.qpr?

I’m curious why this is. Does Sun charge for NFS? Does it cost QSSL to include it?
How can it be in Linux?

It’s my guess this is consider a professional type of application, hence it
probably has been remove to reduce the likely hood of business users not
paying for it.

If anyone at QSSL is monitoring this, I would like to submit feedback from my perspective.
Here at NIH we support about 20-30 users of the real-time data acquisition system we
have developed. They are in universities around the world, and are non-commercial users.

We also pay QSSL $12k/year for support, and have purchased two development seats. So we are
contributing to the bottom line. I dont want to see QSSL ever go away from lack
of funds, so if this policy is necessary you might consider packaging NFS as an add-on to NC and
sell it to obvious non-commercial sites (like universities) for a small price to cover costs.

Lastly, and this opinion is from a business perspective, I would think you would want to do
everything
you could to promote widespread use in university environments. This is where the future
programmers
are. Supposedly this helped Linux.
