NFSTIMESYNC MAIN PAGE

What IS IT ?

nfstimesync is a tool to sync nfs server and client times without sysadmin privileges

Supported platforms.

nfstimesync was tested on:
  • Linux i386
  • Linux alpha
  • Linux sparc
  • FreeBSD i386
  • SunOs 5.8 sparc
And it should be ease portable to any Unix with LD_PRELOAD supported.

HOW IT WORKS ?

nfstimesync library wrap stat family functions and utime function.
times returned by stat function converted to the "nfs client time"
time, used by utime function converted to the "nfs server time"

HOW USE IT ?

Very, very simple. Assume your home directory is nfs-mounted. Just put in your startup files

eval `ntssetup -s sh` # for sh, bash, ksh, etc

or

eval `ntssetup -s csh` # for csh or tcsh

If you have suggestions/ideas/bug report you can send it to forums
