A. Dave Martini shared (13
June 2000) this summary of responses to his original question:
I have successfully done
this on both Solaris and SGI hosts. I've remotely started the nsrexecd
daemon on the Solaris machines via an NFS mount point. You also have to
specify the path to the executables in the client setup screen in nwadmin.
There is a field in there called Executable Path where you put the NFS
mount point to the nsr executables i.e. save, savefs. An entry in .rhosts
for the server is not necessary if the nsrexecd daemon is running correctly.
All this has been done without installing the LGTOclnt on the every host.
This should make upgrades a breeze.
I had many responses from
people saying that they've done this as well in one form or another. The
main thing people pointed out was that your NFS mount point needs to be
reliable and up for everything to work. I plan to mirror this partition
for redundency.
