Extended file system on UNIX 4.2/4.3 BSD

[gmf at hpcnoe.UUCP]

Hewlett-Packard has had a Remote File Access (RFA) protocol available on
its HP9000 Series 500 systems on the market since 1983, and it is now available
on the Series 300 (680xx-based systems).  This RFA maps MOST HP-UX file system
calls (section 2) into remote calls if the file specified resides on a remote
file system.  RFA requires the user to "login" to the remote system prior to
using it (this can be done automatically in a ".login" file).  All accesses to
files on the remote system depend on the permissions associated with the login
id used for that machine.

HP-UX RFA is not public domain software.
