Re: [Linux-decnet-user] Sorry, how do I configure node_address

Hi,

You can copy files on to the Linux box with the tools and then serve them
from samba (maybe you want to set the copy up as a cron job) but you
can't directly mount a remote filesystem over DECnet at the moment.

Eventually we hope to have that feature but it will depend upon the
time we can spend on writing the code as its all done in spare time
and odd moments of which I've not had very many lately unfortunately,

Steve.
