Sfs on Solaris 8 problems

Hi,

After digging through the mail archives, I found why my sfs was crashing
on Solaris 8. This is the Sun bugid, they didn't do anything about it
since 2000, so I think the situation will never change:

This is the message describing the problem and fix:

http://diswww.mit.edu/snafu.fooworld.org/sfs/912

I removed the xputenv invocations from core.C and now sfscd and sfssd both
work.

I do have problems with authentication however. If I try to authenticate,
I get rpc problems:

8 *ROOT* wmertens@bru-cse-075 sfs-0.7.2 # sfssd -d
sfssd: version 0.7.2, pid 5465
rexd: version 0.7.2, pid 5466

../arpc/rpctypes.h:276: failed assertion `len () <= maxsize'
sfssd: EOF from server
^C

However, if I access the files anonymously, it works, but I get this:

sfssd: accepted connection from 144.254.5.67
sfsauthd: accepted pubkey fxc9i5tcgztpny74jnx4v6imfg3w664c from
144.254.5.67!sfsrwsd using public key
sfsrwsd: ran out of authnos (or bad cred type v2)

Any ideas what this all means? I built sfs using gcc 2.95.3.

And another question: can you use nfs from another server instead of
localhost? That way, I could build an sfs server in a trusted lan next to
our nfs servers without running the chance of overloading our nfs
server...

Thanks!

Wout.
