List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Thanks for the information guys, Looking at svcsock.c in 2.4.18/linux/net/sunrpc/ it does seem to have STREAM type of socket support. if I just want to do basic mount/ls/vi type of operations, which patch do I actually need or is there a comiple switch to set during kernel compilation time just to enable TCP support on sever side ? Client side definitely has this by looking at xprt.c code..
