Translucent File Service (

[George W. Fleming]

Has anyone tried to use the Translucent File System (TFS) on SUN 4.1.1???
There seems to be very little documentation on it:  A few manual pages,
but no description on how to use it at all!!!

Is this a SUN supported service? 

To get it started, it looks like that one has to add an entry in
/etc/services for tfs.  How do you know what port # to use?  Then it looks
like you have to modify /etc/inetd.conf.  Does anyone have something that
works?

I would welcome any comment anyone has in working with TFS.  Does it work?
Does it work well with NFS over a network?  Why aren't there more
documentation on it?
