Hi. I'm in the process of building and installing zephyr at this site
at the University of Washington. I have a problem with which I hope you
can help. The client zinit opens a file called "attachtab" which it looks
for in /usr/tmp and perhaps in /etc. It seems to get the host name and
"pack"/"packname" from this file. It then passes this information to
ZSubscribeTo.
We don't have an attachtab file at this site. However, we can use a
system call to get the information (of which file systems are mounted)
dynamically. But I don't fully understand the nature of the information
that should be passed to ZSubscribeTo. I assume that the hostname is a
string somewhat like "hilbert.ms.washington.edu". But what is the meaning
of "packname"? Could you explain the meaning of the information that
should be passed to ZSubscribeTo in this case? By the way, I couldn't
find any description of the filsrv class in any of the supplied
documentation.
Any clarifification that you can give on this issue would be a big help.
