Many years ago I was using someone else's Linux box with NFS. This version of NFS had the feature that: On the server you could copy a file to it's own name followed by a '#' followed by the MAC address of one of the clients, and then that client would see this copy of the file as though it were the original. The two files would typically be different, and the server and the client get their own versions each. The process could be continued for any number of different clients. Can anyone give me some search terms (or an URL) to help me find the code for this feature on the web? TIA, chippo PS: What I really want to know (which I'll hopefully glean from the code/URL when located) is: - was this a user-space or kernel-space implementation of NFS - how much mission it'll be to get the same (or similar) functionality on a 2.4 kern.
