To Install rpc.pcnfd on a Server Running the SunOS 4.0 Operating System or Compatible Versions

1. Move to the product installation page, to the section marked Server Components, and click SPARC or x86 to download the correct version of the server software to your machine.

   The compressed tar file is copied to your system (pkgs.sparc.tar.Z or pkgs.i386.tar.Z, depending on your operating system).

2. Uncompress the file. For example, on a SPARC system, type

   uncompress pkgs.sparc.tar.Z 

3. Extract the files. For example, for a SPARC system, type

   tar xvf pkgs.sparc.tar

   This creates four packages: SUNWipop, SUNWlit, SUNWlicsw, and SUNWpcnfsd. You can then run the pkgadd utility in this directory to install then software on your system.

4. Become superuser.

5. Make a working directory in the /var directory.

   For example, enter mkdir /var/tmp/sunw

6. Enter the shell command to install the rpc.pcnfsd daemon.

   Enter ./addpcnfsd.sh to install rpc.pcnfsd.

   As you enter these commands, you are asked whether you want to start the daemon each time the machine is rebooted, and where you want to install the executable files. (The default directory is /usr/etc.)

7. If necessary, create a rpc.pcnfsd configuration file /etc/pcnfsd.conf.

   (See "Configuring the PCNFSD Daemon".) Refer to the man page pcnfsd(8) for information about this file.

8. Enter the /usr/etc/exportfs /usr/spool/pcnfs command to export the print-spool directory.

   The directory /usr/spool/pcnfs is created by rpc.pcnfsd and must be exported. You should also add an entry to the /etc/exports file, so the directory is exported whenever the server reboots. For example:

   # /usr/etc/exportfs /usr/spool  	
   # echo /usr/spool >> /etc/exports
