Hi,
I recently upgraded a sparcstation from Solaris to NetBSD 1.5.2 and have
been
trying to bring up CFS under the new operating system. The README.netbsd
file in the 1.4.1 distribution had enough information in it for me to
successfully build and mount a CFS volume. Unfortunately, I've discovered
that any files I create under an attached CFS directory are always zero
length (when going through the CFS mount point). Here's a sample session:
% cmkdir test
Key:
Again:
% cattach test test
Key:
% cd /crypt/test
% cp /etc/passwd .
% ls -al
total 7
drwx------ 2 dorsey staff 0 Oct 17 10:42 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root wheel 8192 Oct 17 10:42 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dorsey staff 0 Oct 17 10:42 passwd
% cat passwd
% cd
% cdetach test
% cd test
% ls -al
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 dorsey staff 512 Oct 17 10:42 .
drwxr-s--- 27 dorsey staff 4096 Oct 17 10:42 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dorsey staff 8 Oct 17 10:42 ...

-rw-r--r-- 1 dorsey staff 7 Oct 17 10:42 ..s

It appears that the file is being created and encrypted OK, but for some
reason there is a failure on the decryption side.
I checked the /var/log/{messages,authlog} files for any clues but didn't see
anything relevant.
Others have reported success in getting CFS to work under NetBSD 1.5.x on
the i386 platform. I thought I'd check this list to see if anyone has
experienced something similar or might be able to give me a clue what is
going on. Right now, I'm thinking it may be related to RPC/rpcgen.
Thanks.
