A mailing list has been created for the purpose of notifying interested
parties of changes in operational status of wuarchive (i.e. downtime,
major additions to the archives, etc.).  Sites which NFS mount the
archives are strongly urged to subscribe to this list and it is open
to any other individuals who are interested.

You may subscribe to this list by sending an e-mail message to
listserv@wugate.wustl.edu with a message body of "add wuarchive-announce"
(do not include the quotes).  Please note that this is not a normal
LISTSERV, nor is it a remotely complete implementation -- don't beat on
it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some example /etc/fstab entries.  The first one is for Ultrix,
which should be compatible with any 4.2BSD system and the second is for
4.3BSD UNIX.  Similar things are needed for other systems, but it is not
feasible to exhaustively enumerate them -- you're on your own.

4.2BSD and Ultrix:

 /archive@wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive:ro:0:0:nfs:bg,soft,intr,noexec:
 /archive/usenet@wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/usenet:ro:0:0:nfs:bg,soft,intr,noexec:
 /archive/mirrors@wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors:ro:0:0:nfs:bg,soft,intr,noexec:
 /archive/mirrors2@wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors2:ro:0:0:nfs:bg,soft,intr,noexec:
 /archive/mirrors3@wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors3:ro:0:0:nfs:bg,soft,intr,noexec:

4.3BSD:

  wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive          /archive          nfs ro,noquota,soft,intr,bg,noexec 0 0
  wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/usenet   /archive/usenet   nfs ro,noquota,soft,intr,bg,noexec 0 0
  wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors  /archive/mirrors  nfs ro,noquota,soft,intr,bg,noexec 0 0
  wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors2 /archive/mirrors2 nfs ro,noquota,soft,intr,bg,noexec 0 0
  wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/mirrors3 /archive/mirrors3 nfs ro,noquota,soft,intr,bg,noexec 0 0

Note that not all systems support the noexec option, so you may need to
remove it from the mount options above.

Please feel free to mount the archive partitions at any time.
Wuarchive is up and running and ready to service your every request...
If you do mount the archive partitions, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
SOFT MOUNTED.
